Try a general google search, it's more likely to bring up technical info like this with the exact, or similar application that uses the same part. Rockauto lists only the 2010-2011 GMC Terrain as using the same throttle body as the 08-11 CTS. The mismatch between the plug sockets is a strong indication that even if you get it wired correctly, it will not operate compatibly with the PCM. Sounds like you have a throttle body from a 2012+ model. The throttle valve may be a different diameter which will cause an air load mismatch with the throttle position, or the built in sensor calibration may be different, or both.

Do you know what the wires on my harness are for each one?
the colors
No, I have not researched that. GM is pretty good about sticking to wire color assignments across similar applications for a start.
Below is what I found on first google search, use at your own risk. I'd look for a used correct part, as opposed to attempting to adapt the incorrect part. You could potentially cause additional problems doing this as a gentle warning.
