I recently purchased the new 5GEE device with an unlimited data plan, fantastic speeds and much better than fixed broadband (fibre not available in our area)
Is there a way to configure the device to use with an Orbi Pro WiFI 6 system as the main source of internet.

Eh? The source of your Internet is the SIM in the router. A Mesh system is a source of WiFi.

Just to clarify, yes the SIM in the 5GEE device is the source of the internet. However, I cannot get the Orbi Pro 6 Wifi Mesh system to recognise the 5GEE device either using WiFi connection or ethernet. Essentially, I'm trying to offload the internet from the 5GEE device to the Orbi Pro 6? (apologies if the terms aren't quite right)
