Where is 5th beat, and what explains the rest and high hat groupings as well as the caret representation?
You need to add a beat to the 5/4 bar. Use Shift-B +1q.
Why? I put it in 5/4.
Did you try? This can happen when you change 4/4 to 5.4. Trips me up all the time for similar changes.
Activate Insert mode (press i) before changing Time Signature.
Remember to deactivate again (press i again)

It’s probably because the repeat mark is at a fixed beat position.

It seems to me that a normal behaviour for the software in this circumstance should be to add a beat to the measure as a response to changing the 4/4 to 5/4, just as it does when no repeat barline is present.
Any kind of non-standard barline is treated internally as a time signature. When adding a time signature, Dorico automatically rebars as far as the next time signature. It won’t move subsequent time signatures unless you turn on Insert mode first.
