I look up many ways and even already created a thread on how to move my OS to my SSD but it seems like a failure everytime I attempt at moving my OS to my new SSD. people are using vocab that makes no sense like talking about running linux and all that, but I honestly believe there is an easier way to do it. Please walk me through this like a baby.
Edit 1: I'm using acronis 2015 btw
 
Is there any data in drive G: ?

You didn't move or delete anything.
In old screenshot used space was 572,3GB, in new one - 572,41GB.
You may have moved some data to Trash bin.

iF G: is empty, delete it and shrink windows partition max you can.
Not 123GB - as you have done now, but at least 600GB (better around 1200GB).
And create partition in freed up space.

G: had nothing in it and i restored items from recycle bin but it had nothing.

Edit 1: But before I do anything I just want to recover the lost files. Do I shrink G or C to get my lost data back?
