You can use the addDays function[0] and modify the JSON as mentioned below:

toDateTimeOnly(addDays(@event{Event.<timestampField>}, 5))

{
  "type": "wait",
  "waitFor": {
    "expression": "toDateTimeOnly(addDays(@event{Event.eventFieldName}, 5))"
  }
}

You can use the below expression assuming you have a date time field in the event payload which is a future date (in the custom wait) in journey canvas

toDateTimeOnly(toDateTime(((toInteger(<your_date_time_field>))) - (toInteger(5*24*60*60*1000))))
