OK Figured it out....FINALLY!!
Just so you know, the motors are louder than the creality stock board. I plan on replacing them, once I have found a "better" version of stepper motors that are more compatible with the Duet 2 Maestro board. (Anyone have any suggestions? What's the best on the market?)
The stepper motor for the Z axis needs to be set to 800, not 400 steps. It seems the stock motors of Ender 3 and 5 Pro are different. The lead screw is "TR4" with a 4mm pitch and set to 1:1 ratio. You can then set whatever microstepping you want. 16 works fine for me.
Also, make sure you set your extruder to run 'Backwards' not forwards (another difference between Ender 3 and 5).
If you want higher resolution you can set your extruder to 128(on) microstepping. Whatever you choose, make sure that you set your "Hob Diameter" in the reprap config tool to 10.9 and 1:1 gear. That will set the calculation to the correct value.
The rest of the settings that you see below are directly from the Marlin board, so I am sure they are right and I'm getting some decent prints now. Louder, mind you! At this point, I don't mind.
To be honest, I am still not convinced I have the right settings for the motor currents. I couldn't find any conclusive info on this. I will do some more digging and update if I find anything.
Attached is my config file.
Bear in mind that I added an additional 5015 blower to my filament blower. Thus the tool to make sure they are running in-sync.
***Pro tip: if you have a brand new board, it seems they ship the jumper for the "FAN2" to 5V. Make sure you change it to "VIN".
I also have a Hero Me Gen3 cooling duct attached, thus the offsets, Mesh grids, etc. If you plan to copy-paste, make sure you calibrate these to your machine.
I also google and found the correct settings for the heaters of the hotend and bed. the ones here are safe to use. I have not done a PID tunning yet though...never done before, will try that to see if it works out for me.

It took me a while to find all of this in various places on the internet.
Hopefully, this starts you off well.
Happy Printing!
