In addition to installing the .cia you need to put the right folders on your SD card.
Follow the part about 3DS in this official guide:
https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu/wiki/How-to-install-or-reinstall-TWiLight-Menu

My advice is to get twilightmenu++ updater and have it set it up for you:

I think the cia files are just for displaying twilight menu on the home screen. you should get an error about it not finding the main file when opening if you don't have the twilight menu files in the correct place. normally, the screen goes white for a few moments upon first boot up.

I let it sit for 5 minutes and nothing happened

I'm using a 128GB micro sd card. no issues aside from a few bugs with each new version.

Did you put boot.nds at the root of your SD? Did you extract _nds?

Yes and yes will post pics of my 3ds sd card root in a moment

I guess the question is whether or not you're using a flash cart.

One was the sd card the system came with a 4GB lexar and a sandisk imagemate 64 gig

Try checking the SD card for errors.
If there are no errors found, or if the white screen persists, try reformatting the SD card to FAT32 with 32kb cluster size.
