I used the GUI wallet's address book to store an address. When I added the address, the address was changed.

It went from 4Gdo... to 46w8M... the monero was sent and is confirmed on the blockchain, but no where to be found on the recipients wallet. Where did this monero go and is it even possible to recover it? There's over 15+ confirmations already.The Payment ID also ended up just being a bunch of 0's.

I searched around and saw that it might be because of a bug in the GUi wallet in trying to store an integrated address? I would appreciate the help!

Integrated addresses are a standard address plus a short payment id packed into one (longer) address. Some software, including the GUI address book, but also Ledger, will unpack that integrated address and display the underlying standard address instead.

This annoying state of affairs should be a thing of the past once people switch to using subaddresses, which aren't made of two packed things.
