Hello jason13v8. When playing holes 4 and above on the harmonica, your lips suround four holes, and your tongue covers the three holes to the left. When playing hole 4, your tongue blocks holes 1 through 3. When playing a 4/5 combo, your tongue still covers holes 1 through 3.
What's most likely happening is that when you smirk to open your mouth to the right to include hole 5, your tongue is moving slightly to the right and opening up hole 1. Keep your tongue to the left and this issue should be fixed.
