The 5 draw make little sound , kind of like when I couldn't play the 2 draw because I was sucking too hard. I don't want to ruin the harp so advice on how to diagnose and repair would be great.

If you remove the plate, you can probably see the obstruction. With one eye closed, look through the clearance of the offending reed toward a bright light such as a fluorescent tube.
Run a thin (.001" to .002”) steel blade around the clearance of the offending reed. You can cut one from a feeler gauge with scissors. The thin metal strip from an anti-theft tag also works.
