Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to get onboard graphics to work without having an apu. I have a Ryzen 3600 right now.

The "onboard graphics", ie. the iGPU, is not built in to the motherboard.  The motherboard only has the connectors for the displays, not the actual GPU-hardware; the iGPU, if there is any, is part of the CPU, so no, what you want cannot be done. You need to either buy an APU or a dGPU.

There is an adapter you can buy. It's called an Nvidia GeForce card, and you can put it in your PCIe slot.

 

Of course, this is a joke. Since there is not GPU on the CPU, you have to install a dedicated GPU. If you want great value and similar performance to a Ryzen APU, I recommend a GTX 1650 or even a 1050 Ti.

I have a 1650 super right now. Is there no way to wire that to my motherboard in a way that gives the onboard output? I will say my graphics card output works fine.
