So this looks like the "lan side" of your network. The uplink side should show you what prefix you were allocated. It's possible that your router "requested" a segment (internally), allocated it self ...:5b: and the dhcp-pd is then allocating that out as you have shown. You may need to be running a dhcpv6 client on systems to get allocated an address.

If you change it to stateless/SLAAC, then hosts should allocate their own address at will (without a dhcp client). But nothing in your diagram showed firewalling control, and it may be that anything in the "DMZ" is accessible inbound and everything else is not?
