How do the 9th and 10th Amendments contradict each other?

The Ninth and Tenth Amendments don't contradict each other.The Ninth Amendment essentially says you have rights other than those specifically mentioned in the Constitution, and the fact that they're not mentioned doesn't mean you've surrendered them.The Tenth Amendment says whatever (governmental) powers not assigned to the federal government OR prohibited to the states by the Constitution belong to the states first, and then to the people.These Amendments are intended to protect both States and individuals from the federal government overreaching its authority, but the wording is so vague that many specific rights have to be negotiated with the government(s) or awarded by the courts.Amendment IX"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."Amendment X"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."
