Flop Analysis
Checking is the only play here. This monotone board heavily favors the UTG+1 raiser who has all the sets and nut flushes.
Avoid check-raising weak draws on monotone boards, especially when the turn completes a four-flush that kills your equity.

Check-raising here is a significant error. We have a gutshot with no spade, meaning we have zero protection and very little equity against a calling range.
Note: Check-raising a monotone board with a naked gutshot and no flush draw is over-aggressive; calling or folding are both superior to bloating the pot OOP.
Checking is mandatory after the turn completes a four-flush. Our hand has essentially zero equity against any hand that continues.
Folding is the only logical conclusion. The 5s is a terrible card for us as it completes a four-flush on board, and we don't hold a single spade.
