The first people to call are the manufacturers of the LEDs. Ask then what it takes to keep the LEDs from overheating. They probably have a reference design.
There is a lot of at and a lot of science to keeping these LEDs cool enough.
Most of your input power goes into heat. So, (just guessing) 4 watts out of the 5 goes into heating the rather small LED die.
1. The most important thing to keeping them cool is keeping air out of the thermal path.
2. The next most important thing is to minimize the amount of thermal grease between surfaces. Thermal grease is a terrible thermal conductor, but it is a whole lot better than air. You should strive for no more than 0.001 inches. To minimize the amount of thermal grease, use the minimal amount and clamp the pieces together with a lot of force.
3. Finally, you want to maximize the surface contact area. Very flat surfaces are helpful.
