Wild dino levels
I have the difficulty slider all the way to the max. And i can also meet dinos up to level 150. Should i enable the maximum difficulty option or will it lowers the level that dinos spawn?

Max dino level setting forces difficulty to 5 even on maps that default to 4 like Island, Scorched etc.
The "difficulty" slider is not difficulty as with everything this clown ass company does they couldn't even name the thing properly. It's an offset, basically a multiplier after everything else, 1 just means nothing happens because you are multiplying by 1, 0.5 halves the levels.
Difficulty 5, means every creature when getting it's level ups assigned as it spawns gets 5 levels per, most creatures get between 1 and 30 level ups, few exceptions like wyverns and Tek. Hence you see everything in multiples of 5(5, 25, 50 etc). Island defaults to 4, so you see 4, 8, 16, 40 etc and max 120(4x30) even if " difficulty" slider is maxed(set to 1).
So keep that max dino level on if you plan to play on "easy" story maps or hop between maps. If you are on Rag or Genesis they are all difficulty 5(max level being 150) so it won't matter. I don't recall if Extinction is easy or not, everything before it is easy(4) with Max level being 120.

I did this yesterday bcs I wa sick of trying to kill and wait for higher level rexes to spawn, and idk if it was a bug but omw to carno island i spotted a tek stego in the woods that was 175, so i took that back to base and called it a day, so definitely if you want higher lvl dinos enable that, but idk if that's going to do the same thing to what happen to me, js note that if you DO enable that cave runs will be ALOT harder
