Why didnt Gran Moff Tarkin not just fire on the Yavin 5? Would that not have done the job and destroyed the moon with the Rebel base? Yeah I know stupid question but thats what I would have done! lol

That IS a nerdy question... but a fun one. Here's my answer:
There was no reason to. He was absolutely positive that the Death Star was invincible. Sure, he was wrong, but he didn't think so. There was no incentive to blow up the entire planet. Besides that, although I don't know that much about Yavin 5, it may have been a significant planet. It may have been valuable in some way. Good base site? Good resources? Mining? Who knows? Regardless, there was no point in bothering, from his point of view. The Death Star could not be destroyed. Even when there was "some danger," he refused to even have his escape ship prepared. He was overconfident.

Why is the envoy ship carrying Princess Leia attacked by the star destroyer? Because it is carrying the plans to the Death Star. What gift does Luke receive from his 'deceased' father? A Lightsaber Why does Jabba want money from Han? Han was Smuggling stuff for Jabba and ran into a imperial ship so he ditched the load. Why is Alderaan destroyed? The Imperials wanted the location to the rebel base(it was Leai's homeworld) and They needed to test the Death Star How do Luke, Han, and Chewie get in and out of the detention block? Luke and Han dressed up as stromtroopers and Chewie was there Prisoner. Then they went through the garbage shoot to get out. Why doesn't Vader blast Luke as he chases him on the bombing run? He was going to, he was waiting for a lock on. when Han shot Vader's ship. Why is Star Wars considered one of the greatest movies ever, and why is it thought to be the father of modern sci-fi movies? Because it pushed the envelope on Sci-Fi back in the late 70's. The film had a realistic look to it because you couldn't really see any visual signs that everything was a miniature or held up with wires, it helped immerse people into the story.

it called a plot hole, and probably because deestroying a moon wouldnt have destroyed all the rebels on yavin 4

Because Darth Vader didn't order it.It would be unwise to defy him.
