The main reason you switch to b9s is because it goes into a deeper part of the 3ds's bootrom which is boot11.A9lh is only using the arm9 bootrom which isn't supported anymore with luma.Using a older luma on a future higher fw can run into issues.
Yeah thats because i want to upgrade, and if someone else use my console and they update i want to keep the cw, and i don't like the update messages xD

Turn off the 3ds, then turn it on while holding select. If you see Luma 8.1 menu, it was successful
Ok it say that, so i think I'm done, so now i can update right? (sorry for keep asking this so many times haha)

You can update if you are exactly on b9s 1.2 with luma 8.1.Once you are shure,you can safely update to 11.5.The only thing broken right now is ntr so if you need to have cheats,you should wait.

why? so it's better to stay on 11.3 for a few days?

I know i'm on luma 8.1 but how can i check if i have the b9s 1.2?

If you followed the guide posted to upgrade from a9lh to b9s and you get 8.1 to show up when holding select for the luma config,then most likely you have 1.2 obviously since nothing below 1.2 can boot luma 8.1.If that's the case,then you should be good.

Because ntr is broken which is a cheat/streaming tool,which will get fixed later on.If you don't use it then update.Everything else works like normal.

Yeah I check the steps, and i have the files on the boot9strap folder, i'm gonna try to update the luma first, in the files of boot9strap.firm it comes like boot9strap_dev.firm and boot9strap_dev.firm.sha I alreay try like that an i try just boot9strap.firm but it works on both names or it just have to be boot9strap.firm? (I'm gonna try to update luma i think is that)
The guide was very clear about what to download, and it didn't mention anything about renaming files. Considering what you were messing with, you're very lucky you didn't do something that would have bricked your 3DS. If you can't follow instructions, you shouldn't be messing with your 3DS.
