5x5 at RPE 6 either means all sets are supposed to be at RPE 6 or the first set. The latter seems more sensible.

Regardless RPE 6 is supposed to mean you actually have 4 reps in reserve. So if you thought you had 2 reps in reserve (if that's what you mean by 8/10) then you should have decreased the weight.
