(1) being という動名詞が述語動詞として，is とか was になる。

was でいいと思いますよ。
I forgot は「忘れてた」で「娘が一番」なのは今も変わらないので
is が正解なのかもしれませんが，前後の文脈がなければ時制の一致的に was で問題ありません。

(2) I have never heard of this having happened before.
hear of ～で「～のことを聞く」で ～ing が可能。

(4) He was sorry for not having written the letter earlier.
earlier という比較級で than がないと，「実際より早く」で「もっと早く」に該当します。

(3)(5) は合っています。

すみません，forget ～ing で「～したことを忘れる」ですので，

He forgot that his daughter had been the fastest runner in her class.
が正解なのでしょう。

でも，forgot「忘れてた」で現在完了っぽい意味になりますので，was でもいいと思います。

(4) は
He was sorry for not writing the letter earlier.
でいいと思います。
for 以下は原因ですので，時間的に先と決まっていますので，完了形にしなくてもいいです。
Thank you for の後と同じです。
