Wow, on a hunch I changed the following line in /boot/config.txt and it has corrected the issue.

overscan_scale=0

From what I read this is supposed to be the default setting, but it was set to 1 in my config file. Sometimes all it takes to figure out an issue is to write out a lengthy forum post LOL!

git clone https://github.com/Elecrow-keen/Elecrow-LCD5.git

This is what I used to get the screen working if that helps
