I think what makes this challenge harder than others is that, in the words of Harry’s tip, ” a slightly non-standard version of the cipher”. After researching multiple ciphers and coming unsuccessful, I tested what things ciphers might be based off of. (e.g. Substitution, a chart, etc) As you can see, there are 5 letters and 5 numbers. What can they be the dimensions of? I solved this problem by coding it with python, but if you don’t know how to code, getting some pen and paper and sitting down for 2 hours will crack the code too. Good luck!

P.S. To Harry (or whichever moderator moderates this post) I don’t think I have revealed too much about the solution to the problem, but if you need to blank out any parts of my post in order to keep the challenge fair, feel free to do so.
