Normally i don't use overbets at all, but came across this spot and found it quite interesting in that regard and i'm interested in hearing what you would do in this spot and why.

I decided to overbet because i thought that the btn had none 5's in his range and that he where most likely to hold the Q which most likely would pay me off.

Maybe standard spot, a bit rusty.

Well played. I especially dig the flop and turn sizings. Don't think you ought to go big on those streets when the BB is likely to have way more 5x+ than you do.

The river is player dependent. Versus fun player this must be best, versus competent player I am not a fan at all.

This line seems fine, you are going to have KK-AA and a 5 more frequent than your opponent. Blocking the A5s combo makes this hand extra strong.

Blocking AQ matters less since QT=AQ on this river, and AK would be a prime candidate for bluffing here.

For balance you should mix up your play. For instance checkcalling the flop or going smaller for value with other AA combos (that don't block A5s).
