Sorry if these posts aren’t allowed, planning to move to Germany after college. I would ask in r / german but image posts aren’t allowed. If my notes are whack, what site should I use to understand sentance structure better?

Wtf is xier / dey / en / em ?
A simple reading of wikipedia articles would have shown you that your notes are whack. German does not have SVO structure.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_sentence_structure
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V2_word_order
The first constituent of a normal German sentence is the topic, which may be an object, the subject, lots of other stuff and even a verb.
Genitive and accusative are swapped. Gen is normally second and acc fourth.
Thinking about it, I‘m not quite sure why the order of the cases matters, though.
Xier?
From someone who is currently using Duolingo to learn Italian: I’d suggest getting some kind of coursebook to teach you grammar. Duolingo is great for getting a feel for pronunciation and learning and revising vocabulary. But it falls flat on the grammar side and German has a lot of rules.
Also, I have never seen Si/er/xier/dey/em/en used.
Just to add, im at A1 right now.
And the third added column with er/sie is the top result when I googled neutral versions people might use

I’d maybe add a table of common case endings for nouns as well, the article isn’t the only thing that changes
