If you are on a Mac they often have a different channel allocation. If not, make sure the HDMI cable is not too long, that can cause slips in the channel data.

I have Windows 10 PC. 1 meter cable. In Windows speaker setup, 7.1 test tones playback from correct channels. And also in REW, channels are correct if I use "reset channel mapping". But REW's displayed PCM channel numbers don't follow the standard where SL should be ch 5, SR ch 6. Is this a Windows thing or REW?

Note that REW's output is multichannel PCM, the channel ordering follows Microsoft's channel mask for multichannel PCM.

I had the exact same problem as long as I was with Win10. Now in Win 11 I have the same 5.1 system and I can choose channel 5-6 or 7-8 for surrounds (if this help!)
The weird thing is with Win 10 or Win 11 if REW is open with the receiver disconnected, Front left and Front right name return to L and R ( G et D en fran¸ais) but surrounds remains aG and aD...

Fixed the issue and order by using mapping like this.
