After i put the cue on the note and select the alteration, it doesn't let me inserti it on the cue.

You want to add a sharp to the grace note? Make sure the cursor arrow is on the note as shown below, then click. Alternatively, if you can get the grace note selected so it's red, you can then press the plus sign on the keypad.

Now we understand.

This is not a cue note, but rather a grace note.

You are using the Simple Entry Tool - right?

There are several ways to put a sharp on a note.

One way to do it:
While the note is highlighted, go to
Simple menu > Simple Edit Commands > Accidentals > Sharp

FYI:

Both grace notes and cue notes are small.

Grace notes are ornaments.

Cue notes are notes that the performer is not supposed to play - since they are already played by another instrument.
The cues notes are just info for the performer.
They typically appear at the end of a multimeasure rest.
