First of all. Did you turn your default SketchUp sun off so as to only use the HDRI?

I tested it just now with all other settings set to default and it seems ok. The preview is a bit misleading as it shows perfect with intensity set to ‘5’.

But clearly that’s too dark still so I bumped up to 75 and preview looked blown out but VFB (render window) looks good.

Additionally, you can adjust some settings in the VFB like exposure, white balance, etc to correct the HDRI as desired.

\*Edit - consider saving a copy of your model and resetting all VRAY settings back to default. Also, if you can, upload your model to somewhere like dropbox, google drive, etc and post link here and I can look at it.
