Your question translates to the following:

9Be +alpha gives 12 B +?

A valid nuclear reaction must conserve atomic number and mass number, ie, if we write atomic numbers and mass numbers of elements in the reaction, the values that atomic numbers add up to on the right hand side must be same as that which they add to on the left hand side. The same of mass numbers too.

Atomic numbers : 4 + 2 = 5 + ? So, the unknown element has an atomic number of one, that's hydrogen.

Mass numbers: 9 + 4 = 12 + ? So, the unknown element(which we identified as hydrogen) has a mass number of 1, hence the missing element is 1H (a proton).

Therefore, the complete equation would be:

9 Be + 4 He gives 12 B + 1 H.

Why does the presence of gamma rays not affect how a nuclear equation of alpha is balance?

Gamma rays do not have mass or charge, so they do not contribute to the balance of a nuclear equation that involves the emission of an alpha particle. The alpha particle carries away the mass and charge necessary to balance the nuclear equation.
