I've finally gotten it working. For those of you who had the same problem and googled your troubles, here is step by step what I did, in the correct order
1. get homebrew channel installed and running via letterbomb
2. put the latest version of Cios 249 on your wii by following this guide

3. get a good backup loader and install it via a wad manager (I used yet another mod manager) the site I just listed has a few listed on the sidebar to the left, I used NeoGamma.
That's it! Much less complicated than I made it out to be. Many of the steps I took were random totally unnecessary actions that I didn't wholly understand. All you need its the HBC, a CIOS installer and a good backup launcher to install!
OR for a much easier and more thorough guide just go through

Thanks so much to everyone who pitched in and helped out, It would have taken me much much longer, if not forever, to get the whole thing running.
With appreciation,
Colin
