I have played drums and guitar for 25 years and never “got into” music theory. I know what sounds good and play that but I never learned the names or theory behind it.
Why is a 5th not 5 notes apart? On a keyboard it’s any where from 4 white keysto 8 total keys? Why is there not uniformity or consistency?

I’m not sure where you’re getting confused here, it’s always ‘8 keys’. Depending on where you start from the run of 8 keys can start and end on white keys that are 4 apart but they are still a total of 8 keys. It’s perfectly consistent.
Are you just confused about why it’s called a fifth?
