did not allow instant
when opp cast creature I had an instant to target my creature and deal damage to his creature and I was not allowed to cast; they cast a sac creature destroy target creature at sorcery and again I was not allowed to cast my instant both times right after he cast his creature and right after or before he could cast his scocery I was not allowed to cast my spell. Issue with stack and maybe interaction with sac creature spells and target creature instants IDK but I want my 2,000 gems this was a draft.

Seems more like YOU do not understand timing and priority.
When a player casts a creature spell, they usually have to do so with specific timing. That timing is: when it is their main phase, the stack is empty, and they have priority. Same is true for sorceries, and all other noninstant spells.
Instants also have a timing restriction, just not as severe: when you have priority.
Whenever any object on the stack resolves, the active player gets priority. So after the creature spell resolved, and the creature entered the battlefield, unless something triggered on those events, the stack is empty and the active player has once again achieved sorcery timing restrictions. And thus can cast a sorcery right away. Without the opponent getting any opportunity to do anything in between. Only after the spell has been cast, and thus its costs have been paid (which includes additional costs like sacrificing a creature), and the player having passed priority, does the opponent get priority for the first time after the creature spell resolved. So that is the first time you as the opponent could have cast your instant. You couldn't target the sacrifced creature because it was already gone due to being sacrifced as a cost.
