We could use JavaScript to add meta tag or modify the meta tag content, but, it will be generated after the page is loaded. So, if you use F12 developer tools to check, you can see that: the meta tag content value and the Browser Document mode are not matched.

More details information, please refer to the following screenshot:

So, in my opinion, I suggest you could directly add meta tag in the head. instead of via JavaScript.

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />

You have a lost b letter in X-UA-Compatible. And you cannot set multiple versions in content.
