Out of what brick? If you installed A9LH you're not bricked. Was it the Failed to mount CTRNAND error? That's not a brick. Or maybe when you turn on the console it immediately shuts off and the blue light just flashes? That's not a brick either. I need more info in order to help you.
Generally speaking you should be following 3DS.Guide (a website), and on installed A9LH step after installing A9LH you configure Luma by holding select when booting the console, then restore the system with the backup you have by holding Start when booting the console and restoring NAND with (keep a9lh) option

The error is in safe mode and says not supported on 1.x/2.x Firm. I used the 3ds guide and after i checked all the required boxes in luma, i pressed save and my system just booted into two black screens. it would not load decrypt 9 when i tried to reboot.
Quoted straight from the guide after configuring Luma:
Press (Start) to save and reboot
- If you get a black screen, just continue to the next section
That's NOT a brick. You shouldn't be using safe mode or whatever, what you should be doing is loading Hourglass9 to install your NAND backup. If you cannot get into H9 by holding Start on reboot, you are not the only person with this problem. What you should do in this case is this:
Temporarily remove the current arm9loaderhax.bin from your SD card. Copy the Hourglass9.bin file to the root of your SD card and rename it arm9loaderhax_si.bin. This should result in Hourglass9 immediately being loaded when the console is turned on. Credit for this fix goes to @squall14716 .. The only reason I know about it is because he posted it in another thread.

I tried to go through marking what i needed to in luma just now. When I pressed save I was brought to a screen that was prompting me to set up the ds as if it was a new system. Top screen was stretched.
I really have no idea what you're doing man. Just follow the above instructions to restore your backup. It is impossible to boot luma if A9LH is not installed, so with the above instructions you will get into Hourglass9 and you will get to restore your system.
You should've never strayed from the guide to begin with. Why do people always come here after they're presumably bricked, but not when they run into a wall during the hack process? What makes you think straying from the guide and doing whatever is okay? The worst that can happen is a brick. Fortunately, you're not bricked. Just follow the guide please.

Hourglass and Decrypt9 are two different programs though they function almost identically. You definitely used H9, not D9 .. Juuust saying. Glad to hear you got it working though!. Once you've restored backup go back to the 3DS.Guide and follow it all the way through. If you run into any problems just post in this thread.
Yeah its my bad. I appreciate your help though.

After i go through the restore process, do i need to take the .bin file off of the root of the sd card?

What are you talking about? Above I told him to replace arm9loaderhax.bin file with Hourglass9 and renaming it to armloader9hax_si.bin file. Of course @PerryH17 must now revert this process. Put the armloader9hax_si.bin file back to luma/payloads and rename it to start_Hourglass9.bin. Then, put the arm9loaderhax.bin file that you earlier removed back onto the SD card.
If he does nothing he will just keep booting into H9.
I did not know you advised this but yes, if that is the case then he must do this
Are you certain you are pushing and holding start and THEN powering on the device? It really should work so I don't understand why it doesn't.
Anyway you could do the above steps again .. Remove arm9loaderhax.bin, move hourglass file to root, rename to arm9loaderhax_si.bin. Then inject FBI. But then you would have to revert what you just did in order to get to home menu, and then you'd have to do it again to restore H&S .. and then you'd have to revert it once more. Annoying.
Alternatively do this: Download the FBI .3dsx file and put it in the 3DS folder. Also download Soundhax files again and fasthax files as well if you don't have them. Then launch Soundhax to get into Homebrew Launcher, from there run fasthax, press Start to get back into HBL, then run FBI and finally install FBI.cia with the FBI you're using.
Both methods are kinda convoluted but I'd probably opt in for the 2nd choice as it's very fast. Once you have FBI installed the rest is a cakewalk.

Make sure you're following the guide word to word. If it still doesn't work then I don't know. But you should know that this step is only required to make the console boot without an SD card. It doesn't actually matter if you do this step or not, but if your SD card breaks you won't be able to boot the console until you get a new SD card. Since all of your games will be on the SD card anyway it probably doesn't really matter if you can't boot when you don't have an SD.
If you did Method 2 above then you can skip Steps 17, 18 and 19 as you go on with the guide for obvious reasons. If you can't make SDless boot work, then also skip steps 20 - 24 - which means you've now completed the guide. Gz.

Well like I said it's not a necessary step so you can skip it. You can always set it up later if someone here knows how to fix it.

32GBs is the baseline for 4K video editing these days and lots of recommendations for 64GBs but for games 16,GBs is honestly plenty for a long time. -
