Hello, I have an iCloud locked 5s and I’m thinking about using the hardware method to unlock it. (Change EMMC, EEPROM and Baseband) if I do this, will it change my IMEI? I don’t really want it to, because then the logic boards IMEI won’t match the one on the housing.

I think it will. I do not recommend doing a hardware unlock, there are plently of websites out there that can help you.
