I want to say this sentence while using present perfect.
I arrived at the party on time
Would this sentence work?
Yo he llegado a la fiesta en tiempo

Drop the yo, unless nobody else arrived on time and that's your point.
. . .and then what happened?
"Llegué puntual a la fiesta."
It usually says so in Spain.
Llegué a tiempo a la fiesta.
"He llegado" means: I have arrived.
'on time' means' puntual', no late no earling, o 'clock.
Once I arrived on time for a dinner party at someone's house in Colombia. We got the guests out of the shower and it was another hour and a half before the other guests started to arrive. There was clearly an unwritten rule about being what we would call "fashionably late."
When to actually show up when you have been invited to arrive at a certain time is one of the most interesting differences between the American culture and the Latin culture. Has anyone else had interesting experiences in this regard?
