Dark matter was supposed to be in some kind of "halo" outside the
galaxy. The stars then, are pulled by the outside. A fifth force would
have a vector centered in the center of the milky way.

There would be no gravitational effect on bodies within such
a halo shell. That was a first year physics problem.
