Am i able to get a replacement for my g string for 09/46, i just got my order yesterday, also my g string snapped.

Argh! I hate when a new string breaks! You probably can order a single string, but it's usually more "cost effective" to order another complete set of strings. You might want to check w/ a local music store; they may offer you a better price on single strings.

I use nyxl’s & love them. how do these feel compared to nyxls? are they stiffer from the coating?

No, they feel like normal strings. And they lasted a lot longer.

are they supposed to be slippery? I am trying to learn guitar but trying a D chord results in my 3rd finger sliding

According to D'Addario ... "XT strings feature an extended lifespan treatment on every string in the set, preserving the natural tone and feel of uncoated strings". Personally, I don't find them noticeably 'slippery'. I put mine on around December 10th, 2019 and they still feel clean & smooth. These are the first coated string I have tried. I understand other brands may be more 'slippery' than these. I can't exactly see what you are trying to do, so I can't comment on that.
