I had a situation were my partner called, the ball out of play when shooter A shoot from the corner and hit rim then went up and hit the top of the backboard, is this correct or not?? I thought they changed this rule a couple of years ago.

The rule has not changed. The top of a backboard is not out of bounds. The ball is out of bounds if it passes OVER the rectangular backboard. The only "side" of a rectangular backboard that is out of bounds is the back of it.
