I have a MikroTik hAP ac lite dual that is setup and running AREDN with a Powerbeam M2400 on the POE port 5. I have read you can access the MikroTik via wifi on the 5.8ghz radio while using the 2.4ghz radio for the mesh. I cannot see where I can select the 5.8ghz radio to configure it for wifi. Am I missing something here?

You say the Powerbeam is on port 5 of your hAP. That means it is dtd and connected to your hAP. You have a station with two AREDN nodes, one outdoors and one indoors. There is no reason to put the 2.4 radio onto mesh ... unless you are trying to wireless connect to another indoor hap nearby (why?) ... and if on the same channel as your PB you could create lots of problems (assuming the PB can hear the hAP).
There are two radios in the hAP. I would recommend only use one radio and turn the other off. Choose your LAN part 15 wifi to be 2.4 or 5.8 and call it a day. The settings for the radios are available when you login.
