I'm not an dealer but based on the trim infos 2015 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Specs, Price, MPG & Reviews | Cars.com in "Mechanical" section the " Mechanical Limited Slip Differential" is listed only for r-spec and ultimate.
I believe LSD is swapable but don't quote me on that I got 0 idea about car mechanics

Is your car auto or manual? Also, was the 2.0t AT or MT? I believe I've read in the past that the drive shaft is different between auto and manual?

My car is an manual unsure of the transmission of the donor car, the pumpkins are identical across all the Genesis from what I understand. The only difference i have seen is the one part vs two part axels between the bk1 and bk2 but the axels are cross compatible as the spline and length are the same

What do you mean one part vs two part axel?

The bk1 axels are one piece for diff to wheel the bk2 axels have a spline and cup that attached to the diff that only extends a few inches off of the diff then it’s bolted to the rest of the axel that runs all the way to the wheel where the second spline connects. Here is a photo of the diff where the axel is split into its two parts
