I am using a couple of MW LRS-350 to my P5 panel
Do I need to tie the DC side together between the Mean Wells or not as the panels are connected together

You shouldnt need to. Ground will be implicitly connected via the data cabling which is fine.
However, try and keep each chain of panels to a single PSU, as some panels (not all) connect V+ over the HUB75 interface.
eg:

If you have 16 panels in a 4x4 fashion connected to 4x Panel outputs, driven by 2x PSUs, make sure all panels each row are on the same PSU. Don't do it column based.
1-4 < 1-3 < 1-2 < 1-1
2-4 < 2-3 < 2-2 < 2-1
3-4 < 3-3 < 3-2 < 3-1
4-4 < 4-3 < 4-2 < 4-1
