Hey, im trying to install an aftermarket deck into a 1992 Cutlas Cierra, so i bought the dash kit wiring harness etc took the dash apart and found that the stock radio has 3 harnesses a blue white and black one none of them fit into the aftermarket harness so the question i have is, is there an adapter that i forgot to but that connects the stock 3 harnesses on one side and then clip into the aftermarket harness on the other side?

There might be. The last deck I installed the harness I bought was just color coded to the color of the wires from the car, so I just cut and then spliced the wires together. What harness did you buy? Are you talking about the one that comes with the deck, or a separate one that you bought specifically for your make/model of vehicle?
