So, blu-rays are playing fine ? Just so that we know all elements like the keyDB.cfg are in the proper locations !
What happens when you try to play with menues ?
And have you tried MPC-BE or -HC to play this disc ? (Can't really help you further if it is VLC problem because I do not use it.)

Yes, blurays and and bd+ are playing just fine. I checked and keydb.cfg it's in the right folder, double, triple checked. Menus on normal blurays works just fine, of course as stated in the guide, menus for bd+ are not supported so i didn't even try.
Even if i check show menu on UHD discs, gives the same result.
What is MPC-BE -HC? i don't know what are you referring to

Download the portable/zip of MPC-BE from here : https://www.videohelp.com/software/MPC-BE

Create a directory and unpack there and put the 4 lib dlls into that directory.
If MPC-BE opens the UHD and starts the movie then VLC seem to have a problem. If not, then your setup may be not 100% accurate yet.

I tried what you said, but mpc says "cannot render the file", for every bluray that i try to play, normal bd or uhd. I've done as you said and put the 4 libs in the folder.
Maybe wanna hop on teamviewer or anydesk to help out? if yes, pm me

Sorry, but if you like we could continue via PM but finding setup errors may always help others later.
Please make sure that you did not mixed up 64bit MPC-BE with 32bit lib dlls - or vice versa.
And is your keyDB.cfg in '....\appdata\roaming\aacs' ? If not, please try this and report back.

Also here is the screenshot of the specs of my uhd drive, in case i missed something in the guide(screenshot is done in makemkv)

(it says that the firmware is not patched, but it is)
The issue is your drive firmware.

WH16NS60 is an UHD official (AACS2) drive and libaacs does not support AACS2 drives. Standard BD's will work since they use AACS, but UHD BD's will not due to AACS2.

It should work with the original WH16NS40 "DE" firmware though.

Edit:

yes, i did use the right ddls for 64, also tried 32 bit version of mpc with 32 bit dlls, still cannot render file.
yes, keydb.cfg is in C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\aacs.
i found out that for vlc it was the drive firmware, now 4ks are working fine
