If nothing wrong next flight will be delivery flight, so JX should receive the 6th 359 next week or the week after.

TK's 3rd flight and delivery flight took 7 days in between.

They have to do a Hong Kong rotation once awhile. But beginning later this month, most HKG flights will be mostly A330-900Ns and even A321Neos. SIN flights are also downgrading to A321s in the fall too. Hopefully the delay situation will occur less after the sixth A350 is delivered. There is supposed to be a few more deliveries this year, but JX will be lucky if they get their seventh A350 by Christmas, and I think early 2025 delivery is more realistic. Then they can at least add some SE Asian and Japan flights for the holidays.
JX is doing some flight time adjustments by moving the LAX/SFO departure time ex-TPE to the next day, which I don't think is a good idea for the pax.
