For multiple AP models to be part of the same Instant cluster, all APs should run the same firmware version. From the WLAN platform matrix (or other information sources), you can see that the AP 500 series need Instant 8.6 or newer. You should upgrade the existing cluster to a common shared version for the 305 and 505, where 8.10 (LSR) would be a good version if you don't need the latest features.
