So is it gonna be a issue if I use the 12gauge and trim it to a 16 gauge ? Like I said I already have wire and I’m gonna use it because I’m not gonna spend more money buying more wire.

Nope, use what you have.

Just made these because that’s what i had on hand.

Will it sound a whole lot better then these probably not, but at least they will be cut to length.

Is that coaxial cable? If it is, the 12 gauge sizing is likely the overall diameter, which makes this discussion pointless. If not, let us know if you get any noise. Twisted pair or coaxial is the best construction for rca cables in any case.

Not my discussion but yes it is coax.

If this is 12g speaker wire, which it probably is. I would recommend something else that’s twisted and has some form of shielding. The wire gauge isn’t the issue even though it’s certainly overkill. It’s more the chance of picking up interference and noise. That being said if you have the ends and the wire, go for it and update us if issues arise.
