Yes, I have to find the HWCAL of a new 2ds xl with a top IPS screen but I can't find that... That's why the only thing I can do is lower the bottom screen brightness to balance the brightness with the swapped and dim top screen

Yes that’s the problem, I don’t know anyone who owns one and don’t think someone on internet will give one. I bought the new screen on AliExpress without knowing the screen type. And on the 3ds informations, it appears to be an IPS screen.

Look like you need to get a TN screen, sadly that is what they use, if you are sure that you got an IPS screen perhaps you can try to go after N3DS XL with an IPS bottom screen and swap out the top screen if you are comfortable doing that.

If you have a GBA/SP/Micro/DS/Lite/i you'll find, under or next to the battery, some trimmers (1 per screen) to set the bias voltage, nintendo calls this "flicker", many people think it's for "contrast" or "scanlines", the point is that it needs to be adjusted for the individual screen for best results
In the 3DS series it's adjusted in software, in Config you have "lcd settings" and then "flicker top" or "flicker bottom" for that...
...but thinking about it, if they're aftermarket/clone/"refurbished", they may well have different backlights - and even then LEDs do become dimmer with time...
I'm wondering if they took the screen out of a N3DS XL (if the screens are even the same size)? Or are these screens 3rd party.
If the screens are 3rd party, it's gonna be impossible to find calibration data to match them.
But the calibration data from a top IPS N3DS XL could be a good starting point at least.

Please do not swap HWCAL files, you will ruin everything else just for your display to not even be guaranteed to have a correct brightness curve, and ruining the brightness curve for your original display as well.
First of all, you can fix this without HWCAL swap, just by editing the brightness polynomial in the config (I'm working on the homebrew since 2021, so I have code to invert five brightness levels back into a polynomial, but no user-friendly UI yet, so can't release it without giving a 3hr-long lecture).
Second, pretty sure you need a factory reset for cfg sysmodule to read HWCAL files into the main config.
It's not a good idea to adjust the flicker, you only need to adjust it if the screen actually flickers, or if the colors are super washed out (it will look very gray), or if there is heavy vignette caused by the obviously bad bias voltage.
Anyway, bad bias voltage DOES NOT cause brightness difference, please do not change it from factory default, ESPECIALLY if you don't know what you're doing!

Finally a definite answer. I'd give you 10 likes if I could.
So in short, there is no tool available that can do it yet.
Would it be faster to write that 3 hr lecture, or code a simple text based UI, do you think? Just wondering.

The lecture is obviously easier as a dev than making any UI of some sorts
There is a reason "dev UI" is a term. It's a UI which looks horrendous, and obviously made by a dev who just needs *anything* to control something.

I'm doing good, just made my first drink of the day, so better now, Captain and Coke today. I had to cut grass all day, then get my hair cut. I messed with my wifey, she knew I was going to get hair cut, and I went and bought a purple dyed wig, and came home wearing it, she freaked out, thinking I dyed my hair purple, was funny.
Damn, I haven't been on here in while. My wife and I went on a mushroom trip like 10 years ago. A friend had a PS3TV with the glasses and some racing game. It hit when I was playing the game and I freaked out because I thought I was really driving and crashed.
