I am actually a girl, but I respect your respect.
Still, so it looks like you are having issues with all of the high memory mode, since Pokemon isn't working either.
So here's the advice to help figure that out

It's cool~ ^_^
And it looks like a frankenfirm, the fact that you bricked when applying those patches is what's worrisome. This method takes longer, but it flashes a clean 9.2 FIRM to your 3DS and will remove any defective packages. Then upgrading will bring you back up to date.

@Crystal the Glaceon is correct. Somehow you managed to get a frankenfirm. How is irrelevant. You need to follow the CTR NAND guide here: https://plailect.github.io/Guide/9.2.0-ctrtransfer

This will bring you back to a stock 9.2.0 firmware and will allow you to update to 11.2 and play extended memory games. It isnt that hard or long. And the end result is a perfectly working o3DS.

Wow! I just got on GBAtemp, and it seems you guys already may have solved his issue! Even though I'm sorry to hear about the brick @Josephimmanuel, it's a good thing you have a9lh! Anyways, I'm almost absolutely certain that you have a frankenfirm. However, if that is not the case I would highly recommend updating your Luma payload. I read the patches for Luma 6.6 (released this morning), and apparently people have been having issues with games that require a reboot to run (GBA, DS, DSi, High Mem.) So after you finish restoring, if what everyone else says on here doesn't work, I would probably update Luma.

P.S. FrankenFirms are the worst, am I right? XD

thanks mate!!!! :)
No prob
P.S. Once you feel like you got the hang of a9lh and CFW, you may want to try out 3dsafe. It's like Luma's built in password function, but more secure (it stores the pin on the nand, not the sd.) It will also allow you to boot CFW from the NAND, it works a lot like a9lh v3 (even though it's a fork of v2.)

A CTR transfer didn't work for me though. Everything works except extended ram games. I tried retail Sun, downloaded Moon and retail SSB. None of those worked. I have all the latest stuff. Deleted any boot managers I got. Tried with custom path for luma and without. I don't know what to do... It worked before as I played Pokemon Moon on this system before I installed it(and copied the save over) on an other 3DS.
