Carter Lee1. Are you finished your work yet?Should I have to edit like this? Are you finishing your work?

"Are you finished your work yet?" is incorrect and appears to be a mistake for "Have you finished your work yet?"

"Are you finishing your work?" has a different meaning; it is asking about activity in progress now.

Carter Lee2. Were you finished your work yet?Should I have to edit like this? Were you finishing your work at yesterday?

"Were you finished your work yet?" is incorrect.

"at yesterday" is incorrect. "Were you finishing your work yesterday?" is possible but not particularly common. It is asking about activity in progress at that time. It is not asking whether the person finished their work yesterday. For that, ask "Did you finish your work yesterday?"

Carter Lee3. Have you finished your work yet?

This is fine; it is a common and normal thing to say.
