I take it that "either H1 or H2" includes both H1 & H2.
If B1 has H1, each of the other 4 hats has 5 choices for boxes, thus 5^4 ways
similarly, if B1 has H2 , another 5^4 ways
but this double counts if B1 has both H1 & H2,
the remaining 3 have 5 choices each, 5^3 ways
thus ans = 2*5^4 - 5^3 = 1125
