No, replacing the representative element g with another element g' from the same coset does not yield a different coset. If g' belongs to the same coset as g (i.e., g′∈gH), then the coset generated by g' is identical to the coset generated by g (g′H=gH).
Conditions: g and g' are both elements of the group G; g' and g belong to the same coset

A normal subgroup satisfies gH=Hg because its defining property is that it is invariant under conjugation, meaning gHg−1=H. By right-multiplying both sides of this equation by g, the g−1 and g cancel out, yielding the equality of the left coset gH and the right coset Hg.
Conditions: H is a normal subgroup of G; g is an element of the group G

We can intuitively understand a normal subgroup by visualizing the group G as an outer rectangle and the subgroup H as an inner rectangle. The condition gHg−1=H means that if you 'transport' the entire region H using an element g and then bring it back using g−1, the resulting region still lies completely within H.
