Yes, you can mount Sony E lenses on a Lumix S9 if you modify the mount.

A Rednote member named Chan modified his Panasonic Lumix S9 to be an E-mount camera. He had to remove the front sensor cover and use a Viltrox-E-mount adapter ring to get the right flange distance. Now he has an unbeatable combination: the power of the LUT combined with the wide availability of E-mount lenses.

The L mount has a flange distance of 20 mm, while Sony’s E mount has a flange distance of 18 mm. So it’s impossible to adapt E-mount lenses. The only way is to do what Chan did, cut the mount and bring an E mount closer to the sensor. I don’t think you should do that… it takes the right skills to make it work, and you’ll lose your warranty.
