Whats up with flex queue MMR/ELO?

My friend and I have been getting into it (mid gold - low plat) and we placed silver in flex queue and we are going against other flex queue silvers (sometimes golds) however their solo q rank is high gold to high plat even. Is this normal?

I'm not complaining that there are skilled players - however his many high golds/plats in flex q silver? Seems a little strange. Who is in gold/plat flex queue? Challengers? Than who is in Challenger flex queue? Xiao wei xiao?

plat 1 is the highest someone can place after the soft resets. This queue is new so its mmr is still dodgy. But it is normal for Golds and Plat to place in silver, even in Solo/Duo.

flex MMR is a separate thing from solo MMR

Flex started completely fresh I think. So, you have a wide range of players in silver there.
