Is it ok to elaborate on a personal challenge/setback on the secondary essays that was part of my Personal essay but I did not go into great detail even if the secondary prompt says “not mentioned(or addressed) earlier”

You can as long as the details are not mentioned elsewhere

I dunno. An evaluator might be a tad annoyed that the writer isn't following explicit instructions since *technically* it was addressed in the PS. It's better to err on the side of caution when it comes to grey areas.
