Just fitted a arc and 4 in ceiling Speakers as the surround, fitted both right to right and left to left, surround speakers are now set at +15 and are really quiet, watching fast and furious Hobbs and shaw on Netflix really poor? What have I done wrong?

The arc works fine and I am getting a noise from the ceiling speakers but with the surround at+15 I can just about hear it
That’s because it’s playing ‘ambient’ PCM stereo audio and not Dolby 5.1 audio.
Ah yes, the Arc Receiver should be on HDMI-2 ARC, well spotted
It is!!!!
Ah it’s just your screenshot before shows the settings for HDMI-1, hence the thought from

Thank god it isn’t that, the wire is buried in the wall
Perhaps try Dolby Digital instead of Dolby Digital Plus, just to be sure.
Hope it’s not a buried ‘active’ HDMI lead, as they apparently won’t work, but I wouldn’t rule out the cable either.
Is the Arc connected to your TV’s HDMI eARC port with an HDMI cable? It should be HDMI 2 on your TV.
Do you mind sending screenshots of your TV’s audio and HDMI settings?

Then perhaps try a different cable between the TV and the Arc. The cable has to have HEAC support which is often referred to as HDMI 1.4+ (with ethernet) - sometimes leads can occasionally be faulty.
Still no
TV settings are correct, just checked Netflix, doesn’t matter what subscription you have for 5.1
Perhaps force the TV to use Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Plus rather than Auto, I think in WebOS it’s "Settings/Sound/Additional Settings/DTV Audio”… see if that works.

In the TV’s settings, set HDMI Input Audio Format to Bitstream, Digital Sound Output to Auto, and enable eARC support.
Also be sure you have a Netflix premium subscription so you can get 4K and Dolby Atmos audio.
The goal is for the Sonos app to show you are getting Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 or Dolby Atmos audio.

What model is your LG TV?
You’re not playing any audio in the screenshot posted above - what does the ‘about box’ show for the Arc when playing the Hobbs & Shaw movie?
On Netflix in the UK
Ok so this looks wrong
What app are you using to stream Hobbs & Shaw? It isn’t available on Netflix.
Be sure the speakers are wired correctly like this:
