Feeling sort of silly here, but I'm trying a friends settings on the R5II and I often use auto ISO. The way my camera works is I push the set button in the middle of the quick control dial then move the main dial on top near the shutter button right or left to increase of decrease exposure compensation.
On his camera he has the set button you press and it goes right to zooming in on the focus point so you can check sharpness I like that.
What I can't figure out is how to change the exposure compensation since the set button now does something else. I do not want it as a control ring change.
So how do you change the exposure compensation without the set button and top main focus wheel?

I use the rear top deck dial for EC, the other dials are for aperture and shutter. That's the nice part about having 3 dials.

If I set it to exposure compensation do I have to go back in and change it to ISO if I don't want auto ISO anymore or how do I get back to setting iso on my own?
I have always used the M-fn button and the main dial for exposure compensation on my R6m2 and R3. I was always bumping the rear top dial, it is turned off.
I set up a custom mode C1(M) on my R3 which turns on manual with auto ISO and puts exposure compensation on the dial around the MODE button, with shutter speed and aperture in their usual places on the front dial and back wheel. This is essentially an Av+Tv mode, which the cameras should have come with along with the Av, Tv and other modes that are already there.
I have it set to change the shooting parameters to values suitable for wildlife each time I enter C1(M), but the camera has a setting for changes to stick across exits from and entries into custom modes, in which case this would be the same as having an Av+Tv mode except for the labelling. You cannot make one custom mode sticky and another not, so I had to choose.
There’s no way to set the name of the custom mode so it actually reads “Av+Tv”.
I mostly only use two modes, one is fully manual so the top rear dial (quick control dial #2) is ISO and the other is auto ISO where QCD #2 is EC. There are many diffrent ways you can configure controls for sure. QCD #2 is a game changer for me and I have Sony and Canon configured similarly. Pushing and rotating for EC like the 1DX from 2012 is not for me.

Thanks, I will try different things and get it worked out!

Yea, muscle memory has me constantly doing it my old way…
I shoot in Manual Mode, and on my R5 when set to AUTO ISO, the Quick Control Dial-2, the one on top, when dialed clockwise will increase ISO, and CC will dial it back to AUTO, but I haven't found a button configuration that can instantly reset ISO to AUTO.
On the R5 the Mfn. button is the only one that can toggle through shooting modes, M,C1,C2, C3, so double clicking it is not an option for me.
customize the ring on the RF lenses to be exp comp as well as the dial around the set button in the back to be the exp comp. Both works very easily and helps with quick access.
or
if you set the ISO to manual, you can set up the same 2 dials to ISO
