How do i add to the position of a Part?
a = script.Parent -- Shows that anywhere in the script showing "a" is about the part.
function OnClicked() -- If an "OnClicked" function is triggered it runs the script.
print(a.Name) -- Shows the name of the part in the output.
local b = a:clone() -- Clones part.
b.Parent = game.Workspace -- Places part in workspace.
b.Position.X +6 -- Error
end -- Ends the function
a.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(OnClicked) -- Triggers an "OnClicked" function when a is Clicked.

You don't add a number to the position, you need to add a whole other Vector3 value since Position is a vector3 value. Also, use a "=" to set a property. One equal sign means setting a property, Two equal signs are for if statements.
Final Product
a = script.Parent -- Shows that anywhere in the script showing "a" is about the part.
function OnClicked()
print(a.Name)
local b = a:clone()
b.Parent = game.Workspace
b.Position = b.Position + Vector3.new(6) --Vector3.new(6) is the same as Vector3.new(6,0,0); Just taking shortcuts!
end
a.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(OnClicked)
Hope it helps!

Position is a Vector3 value so you must use Vector3 when doing it. Although the way you are doing it is by accessing the X axis of the parts position and changing it, so to do that you must do:
b.Position.X = b.Position.X + 6
and for Vector3 it would be
b.Position = b.Position + Vector3.new(6,0,0)
