Headphone out

I have a 1/4 adapter and my head phones have 1/8. But when I listen I don't have a full stereo sound, The adapter I have is to long for the headphone out and sticks out a bit the sound quality is good, when I push it in all the way the sound quality was bad (that was the only and last time i did it don't want to damage anything.)

 

Do I have to find a better 1/4 adapter?

Either your 1/8" plug is not making contact with all 3 conductors in the 1/4" adapter or you have the wrong adapter. The adapter should have a tip, ring, and sleeve:

If it only has 2 conductors, you'll either get a mono signal, no signal, or lots of hum depending on how far you plug it in:

Adapters are cheap in any case, so that's where I'd start.
