The Borann place has gone after the introduction of Fleet Carriers, or more importantly - a new element to mine for - Tritium. It has changed the hotspots.

What you need to look for is a triple hotspot for Low Temperature Diamonds (LTDs). Currently there are several known locations. Mining in a spot where 3+ hotspots intersect greatly increases your chances to find good asteroids.

Borann A2 is among legends of ELITE now

New hotspots are in:
(from the closest to the more remote)

COL 285 SECTOR CC-K a38-2, planet 1, 2nd ring (triple hotstpot)
COL 285 SECTOR XN-D a28-2, planet A10 (triple hotspot)(might've changed, possibly ignore)
SWOILZ PK-R B20-0, planet 1 (quadruple and triple hotspots)

They're a bit far off, so you might want to consider selling to the carriers that buy diamonds nearby that location.

No one mentioned this unsure why not but do NOT mine in a small or large ship use a Medium. FOR LTD's the best ship would be a Python.

demand vs your cargo affects payout so strongly for Painite and LTDs, as well as benefits for medium pad access.

Sometimes demand is a factor but most of the times a large ship won't be affected by it. With Fleet carrierr we can also store diamonds and sell them with a medium ship.

Ah ok, thanks everyone for the info, really's helps. But one last question, so im using the detail surfac scanner on the outer rings ( think im using it right, shoots a limpet at it ) saying scan is done, but from seeing other videos online, there show red/yellow dots, as for my end its still the norm view with no red/yellow dots showing the LTD loctions, not sure whats im doing wrong.

I'm still a noob, but I sometimes need to shoot a few of them to see the spots. Might be my bad connection.

1/ can be a bug, quite usual those days. Sometimes i got no highlighted spots even in exploration mode or knowing there is one there. Try exit and come back ingame

2/ wait for next patch as it will modify spots again, looks like jumping right in the midle might be the new thing

3/ some rings have no hotspots
