I am having concerns about the rank system because I was gold 5 when I ended the season, then I played the flex system when the new season came out and won 8/10 games in a row and got placed in gold 3, but after playing another game on the flex ranked I lost the match and was immediately place in bronze 2 and I dont understand why.
Because of the MMR mismatch in Flex Queue, you got reset to the original starting point (pre placements). But remember this is only Preseason, the rank you accomplish now WILL BE RESET AGAIN! The rank you get in preseason does only influnece the placement in Season 7 to a SMALL extend! (only your starting point in season 7 is affected by Preseason ranks) Sidenote: 1-2 Tier drops are completely normal in preseason.
I.E.: You were Plat 5 at the end of the season, were placed high Silver after placements, now got placed low Silver. If you now climb to Plat again, you will then only be placed in low Gold at the start of Season 7!
So dont worry to much about the current placement!
this "extra" placement game was just to update your visuals! you were already reset at that time!
