You can use TabStopCollection.Add to add a tab stop in the collection. Could you please ZIP and attach your input and expected output documents? We will then provide you more infomation about your query.

Following code example shows how to add tab stop before the footnote. Hope this helps you.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "input.docx");
foreach (Footnote footnote in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Footnote, true))
{
    if (footnote.FootnoteType == FootnoteType.Footnote)
    {
        TabStop ts = new TabStop(0.5 * 72, Aspose.Words.TabAlignment.Left, TabLeader.None);
        footnote.FirstParagraph.ParagraphFormat.TabStops.Add(ts);
        Run run = new Run(doc, ControlChar.Tab);
        footnote.FirstParagraph.InsertBefore(run, footnote.FirstParagraph.FirstChild);
    }
}

doc.Save(MyDir + "20.4.docx");

Thank you very much for your code it worked perfect , but i am just wondering how to add another
Run run = new Run(doc, ControlChar.Tab); after the footnote number so before and after the footnote number/refernce

I found this hopefully this is the rightway
Run run1 = new Run(doc, ControlChar.Tab);
footnote.FirstParagraph.InsertAfter(run1, footnote.FirstParagraph.FirstChild.NextSibling);
