Thanks, It all worked out! I cant thank you enough @Temptress CeriseDownload the latest release of BootAnim9.

1. On your SD Card, rename "arm9loaderhax.bin" (which should be Luma3DS if you followed the guide to the end) to "arm9payload.bin"
2. Extract the contents of the latest BootAnim9 release to your SD Card(which should be a file called "arm9loaderhax.bin" and an "anim" folder with the file "calibrator" inside that folder.)
3. Then move the "arm9payload.bin" inside the "anim" folder, and you should be good to go.
4. Download BootAnimations you want to use from here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/a9lh-bootanim9-animations-thread.420421/
And place them in folders "0", "1", "2", etc up to "9"
Note: You don't have to have 9, you could just have 1, but it'd have to be "0" - I think.
The BootAnim9 thread provides more details.

Last question, I just updated luma using the luma updater, and the animations went away. Any ideas as to why this happens and how to fix this? Thanks!Download the latest release of BootAnim9.
