1. Install KDE frameworks

yum install kf5-\*

2. Add copr repo

dnf copr enable dvratil/plasma-5

3. Install Plasma 5.

yum install plasma-5

You will have to deal with conflicts if any. You could remove them for
now and install them back after you have installed Plasma 5.

Remember Plasma 5 is still a work in progress. Here is the list[1] of
known bugs in Plasma 5.
