Update: I can get Dolby Vision passthrough now! You simply have to turn of the HDR10+ functionality on your Panasonic OLED: TV Settings>Setup>HDMI HDR setting>HDR dynamic setting>HDR10+ Functionality = off
I tried to connect my Apple TV 4K (ATV) to my HW-Q90R soundbar to pass through a Dolby Vision HDR (DV) signal to my Panasonic GZ1000 TV. I have also tried this with my Xbox One X (XB1). I was using the Netflix and ATV+ apps. Both devices fail to pass the DV signal through my setup and all I get is HDR10. However, I have read that others have had success passing a DV signal through. I have checked all my settings on all the devices in the chain and they are correct. I am using ultra high speed 8K 48Gbps HDMI cables. I have also tried connecting the sources directly to the TV and then DV does work. The problem is then I get really bad lip-sync issues when passing the sound through the TV to soundbar, which eliminates this setup as a solution. I am posting here to hopefully get some feedback from other people who have either successfully passed an ATV or XB1 DV signal through their HW-Q90R and also those that have failed to do so. I am interested to see what TVs, video sources and apps you are using, especially when using ATV or XB1. I find it very frustrating and annoying that two common sources can't be used with their optimal video signal considering that the HW-Q90R is Samsung's flag ship soundbar.

This only got me part of the way for my Apple TV 4K and Q90R soundbar and Panasonic OLED 55GZ1000 TV,
So I needed to do this:
TV Settings>Setup>HDMI HDR setting>HDR dynamic setting>HDR10+ Functionality = off
Also
TV Settings>Setup>HDMI Auto setting> mine was set as "Mode 2" by default". I had to change to "Mode 1" for Dolby vision passthrough to work.
Once I switched to "Mode 1" the Apple TV 4K came up with a box asking me if I wanted to use Dolby Vision, I clicked yes and it worked, however if you don't get a pop up box then I think you can achieve the same thing by going into the Apple TV 4K settings, and activating Dolby Vision under the video settings.
I tested it out with the Lasso TV series on Apple TV and I now have Dolby Vision passthrough working as well as Dolby Atmos working with no audio delay lip sync issues, Finally!
Oh and I also had to update the Q90R firmware, I believe I am now on version 1012
