I bought a led controller for my led strips on amazon.
My led strip connection on the strip says 12v, Dout, Bo, GND.
The new IR Remote controller has RGB plus 12v and ground.
I know I messed up but is there still a way to connect RGB to a data in and out led strip? Thanks!

No. You bought two incompatible devices.
The RGB controller is probably putting out 3 PWM signals to control the brightness of each color.
You'd have to maybe use pulseIn() to determine the PWM frequency/duty cycle, and convert that to an 8-bit level for each color. Then use the appropriate Neopixel library to send out 3 bytes per LED for however many LEDs you have in the string.
Do you know what LEDs are on the 12v, Dout, Bo, GND strip?
You bought a dumb controller for smart LEDs. No bueno.
