I have 2 x R7800s that are Wired and run as APs. For some reason the 5GHZ network is always slow to show up when a client is scanning.

I have tried adjusting the beacon settings and have the 2.4 high than the 5. (All other settings were done from the QCA Best Guide.)

Does anyone know what settings I could tweak to fix?

What build are you running?
Are you using Vanilla or DD-WRT firmware?
Are you using WPA2 Personal CCMP-128 (AES) only security?
Some clients may not like some channels, have you tried others?

Are you using Vanilla or DD-WRT firmware? - DDWRT

Some clients may not like some channels, have you tried others? I have. They all connect fine once it can see the network.

Latest build at this time
https://download1.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/betas/2022/11-06-2022-r50814/netgear-r7800/dd-wrt-webupgrade.bin

Lots of people using Vanilla.
I would try that.

Network Mode Mixed or AC/N Mixed
Be sure you are using proper Extension Channel if Channel Width VHT80.

Wiki states: Note, it may take up to a minute to find your 5ghz signal if using VHT160 mode
