With UE5 finally released, I've noticed a lot of users are struggling with some wonky shadows in the engine. This video helps shed a bit of light on why that is, and how to fix these problems.
We have three solutions. One simple one, one with a console variable, and a third that is more of a last resort type of fix.

Console Variable for solving buggy shadows: r.Raytracing.Shadows.EnableTwoSidedGeometry 0
