1-Is there a difference if i do my citizenship before filing for divorce or after is settle and finalize the divorce?

2-would it make a difference in their decision to grant me the citizenship?

Doesn't matter.

Either way, if you got yiur green card through marriage they MAY ask you about your marriage at that time to verify that you got your green card legitimately. The current state of your marriage shouldn't have any impact on your 5 year application.
