Propane weighs about 4.25 lbs/gallon, so my tank is exactly 1 gallon. Your 5 lb tank holds ~1.2 gallons. But for an initial fill, all the air must be purged from the tank, and they do that by opening the relief valve and pump propane in until propane exits the relief valve. That's where your extra gas went.
Next time, it shouldn't be more than 1.2 gallons.
