It depends on whether you want to amplify just the VHF signals from the C5 or both the UHF signals from the DB8e and the VHF signals from the C5.

To amplify both, mount the preamp after the combiner.

To amplify just the VHF, mount the preamp between the C5 and the combiner. In this case you would have to make sure your combiner passes DC voltage on the VHF side so that the DC voltage from the power inserter is able to get to the preamp.
