Im curious as too why Ossetian-Alan has been marked as falling within the Iranic language family tree. Their haplogroups are R1B+G+J2.

Ossetians are only partially descended from the Alan's if anything they are mainly descended from Circassians and not the Alan's. Yes I know we can't get too carried away with haplogroups but where there's smoke there's fire. No other R1B groups speak an Iranic language even Armenian is considered quite distant from the other language families.Ossetians are linguistic and genetic descendants of the Alans, a iranic people.
Their language is the most similar surviving language to that of the ancient scythians.
Where did you took the data that ossetian have more R1b than R1a?Scythian languages - Wikipedia
en.m.wikipedia.org
They are massively G and J2 anyway.And Y-dna actually has not a strict easily markable correlation with the language spoken or autossomal dna, don't let haplotardism convince you otherwise.
