The thing with the whole "Nightmare Forces" thing is that Luna says near the end of that arc that she was pretty much lying about the Nightmare Forces having always been a separate entity and that they had always been a part of her that got separated from her somehow. But there were a few parts of that storyline that weren't exactly clear, and the writer of the arc even said herself that she could've made it a little clearer. So it's not EXACTLY a contradiction, more just that it had some semi-confusing parts that made it SEEM like a contradiction at the time, only for us to later learn that at the very least it wasn't intended to be one, and later storylines in the comics made steps to correct this.


 
On the other hand, the season 9 premiere pretty blatantly contradicted what the comics did with King Sombra.

But that was likely because when those comics were written, the show staff didn't have any plans to bring back Sombra.
 
But really, the easiest way to reconcile it is to just consider the comics an alternate universe that aren't non-canon, just a separate continuity. Like how there are various different continuities based off of the G1 Transformers characters, but none of them are "non-canon".
