So libass.so.9 is installed, but the program needs libass.so.5 - this leads to the error you see.
Consider running
ldd `which HandBrakeCLI` | grep -i found
which might show you which other libraries are missing.
If it's only libass.so.5, potentially a symlink
ln -s libass.so.9 libass.so.5
in /usr/lib64 would do the trick, but the difference in version numbers appears large. Maybe it matters, maybe not.
I'd also try to update HandBrakeCLI ; a later version might make use of libass.so.9 .
HTH,
