You need to manually set your base resolution in OBS to something in 16:9 aspect ratio (e.g. 1920x1080), then you can fit your game source in it and it should turn out good on twitch.
I would recommend streaming in 21:9 and just not caring for black bars, someone will always have them.

Thanks, I like where you going might try that, is it possible to fill the black border with some ui stuff? And if it is, people with 21:9 wont see it right?

No, the black boarders are generated by the video player to keep the correct aspect ratio of your stream on non-21:9 displays. You cannot fill them with anything because you have no control over it. Its a basic technique to account for the multitude of resolutions and aspect ratios on the market.
