So my player has a +3 dex +2 proficiency giving them a +5 to hit with their hand crossbow. They recent got a +1 Shortbow that when equipped has a +6 to hit
This is a homebrew item, and I'd bet it's put together incorrectly. You can try contacting whoever made the item. I'll point out, however, that based on the line 'Image and concept credit: The Griffon's Saddlebag', this item might be someone publicly reposting someone else's homebrew, which is a copyright violation and the item could get pulled. If it's a reflavor and they're just crediting the influence, it might not, but you might be best served making the homebrew item again yourself. If you're just sharing within a campaign you don't need to publish the item to share it. Which also makes it easier to fix things if the homebrew is done incorrectly. Check out the homebrew forum for more details/help on building it yourself.

It also changes the hand crossbow to +6 to hit.
I cannot figure out whats going on here. Heres the magic item.

Yeah, it's programmed incorrectly and based on this homebrew.
