How to play G9♯11 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the four strings from the A to the B at the 2nd fret, your middle finger on the low E string at the 3rd fret, your ring finger on the D string at the 3rd fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 3rd fret.

An easier G9♯11
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your index finger on the low E string at the 3rd fret, your ring finger on the A string at the 4th fret, your middle finger on the D string at the 3rd fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 5th fret. Let the G and B strings ring open.
