but recently with my new coach she has trying to get to the
fellowing 2 counters which are driving crazy

Slip inside the jab-straight right to the body
this never works for me in sparring but when doing drills it feels ok

now 2nd is even worse for me

inside slip-left hook to the body
this never feels good sparring or drilling
i feel streched out and off balance

my coach says
that i should step more to the left when i do it
but man
the guy is throwing a fast jab, how do i get the time to
slip and step to left-throw the shot+his elbow is there to block

now is it me doing these 2 wrong
or are they just not realistic to do

Found your problem

When slipping inside of the left jab and countering with a left hook/uppercut to the body --- bow forward slip the jab by letting it just miss you going just over your right shoulder. Now you are right there in position with your weight on your front foot. Now simultaneously using your legs, hips, pull back and dig you left hook/uppercut to the solar plexus or liver.
Practice slow in the mirror.
Speedit up until you can do it as fast as you can blink.
Remember "bow forward" and not to the side.
