any reason UK Move 2 won’t connect to channels in the 149 - 165 on 5Ghz have AP for outside and due to it being an outside AP it doesn’t have the usual channels starting from 36 as these are for indoor use only.
the Move will connect on channels in the lower 100 range but these use DFS. in the UK we can use 149-165 without DFS but the Move 2 won’t connect to them

If you aren't sure submit a diagnostic and call Sonos support to have them look i to it.
Might give them a call but might just move them to my 2.4Ghz network
I would let the WiFi client decide what is the best connection, it knows best. Sonos will work well on 2.4GHz, and probably better if you are grouping speakers, especially if they are sharing a 2.4GHz channel from a single AP.
Is your Move 2 from another country? There are reports of this (devices from others countries) and don't connect by the region and similar :)

+18I must say I’ve never heard that some WiFi channels would only be for inside the house.
Depends on the country, scroll way down to 5 gHz:

From the footnotes there:
