If all you want to change are the plastic flares, the side of both the TJ and the YJ is flat. Yes they fit but the bolt holes etc are different. And the side marker on the YJ mounts to the metal.
There is another thread which covers this.

Thank you do you happen to know the link to it or would I just search for it? Again I apologize im green to all of this
The YJ flares might physically attach somehow, but think hard about how well they will fit a TJ. The first question I have is how the outer lip where the flare attached differ between the YJ and TJ. The wheel openings are different. The flare's position on the fender is different. Then there is the problem of the side marker.
Right? Most YJ folks go the other route, putting TJ flares on their YJ’s.
TJ flares will fit on the YJ.
The only reason to do this is if you have a smashed TJ and a YJ clip. Then it might be worth the headache/challenge but I would not spend any money on mixing parts.
OP
If you were originally asking if YJ fender flares would bolt to the TJ, its a no.
I ran around the rabbit hole on this one too. Long story short is a credit card can make anything fit. My credit card won't. Different angles different width different curves etc. Sorry for the news.
The fenders look to have close to the same radius. It might be easier to remove and "fill" the turn signal (forward facing) from the fender. Would that give you the look you want?
Then add a pair of CJ style turn signals.
