I am traveling the Lustrabaatane ferry from Flam to Gudvangen and want to take the 950 To Voss bus but I have no reservation for the bus. I attempted to buy a reservation thru Norway's Best Site but they say there are no more reservations available. Will I be able to still got on the bus?

I made that trip in 2022, so of course things could have changed. As of two years ago, the conventional advice was simply to pay the driver, which is what I did. I noticed some of the other passengers had papers to show the driver, so some people did have reservations or tickets. At the time, I assumed they were cruisers.
I've read virtually every post about Norway still accessible on this forum, and I have never read a report from someone who was unable to get on the Gudvangen-Voss bus. I think they sometimes run more than one bus. I really don't think you have anything to worry about, but I don't blame you for wondering. In your shoes I'd try to be among the first people off the ferry if I planned to take a bus scheduled to depart shortly after ferry arrival.

Things haven't changed as far as I know, it's just a regular bus. You can not make reservations for the bus, but Norway's Best will happily sell you a voucher you can use to buy a ticket from the driver. Buying a ticket from Skyss will save you a bit of money.

I emailed the Lustrabaatane ferry company and they said at this busy time of year it is possible that the bus or buses could be sold out
