In reality, the takeoff flaps of the 787 are 5%, but when I use the 5% flaps on Aerofly fs Global, I feel like I can't pull them up. Is it a problem with my operation or is it?

5% isn't a setting, it's Flap 5, which is roughly 5° with 30° max... In percent that would be 16.67%...
What exactly are you doing? When you are starting on the runway the flaps are already set for takeoff, matching the performance entered in the CDU. Do you start cold and dark and then extend flaps to 5 before takeoff, or are you starting on the runway, then move the flaps to 5 and then takeoff and can't retract them?
Do you have the assistance for flaps on or off? -

Well perhaps the pitch trim doesn't work well for flaps 5 because it is adjusted for the default flaps 17 that we have set. You may need a) a pitch trim value more use up and b) a higher rotation speed.
