I have a similar issue getting into 5th, but that was after the dealer had just installed a new CSC. I haven't gotten underneath the car, but isn't there an adjustable "stop" for the shifter? If I am careful, goes in smoothly, but if I just push it into 5th, seems like I go past the engagement point. Prior to that I wasn't having any issues except for the 1st to 2nd shift when cold...

This is an easy fix, Remove boots on top, You will find a steel plate with 3 bolts, Loosen bolts, put in 5th gear
Push plate up to shifter and tighten bolts. Or just take it back to dealer and make them fix it since they messed it up
