I'm searching for background strings for Shut up and Dance - Walk The Moon, the ones you hear in the background. Anyone with any suggestions?

Are you talking about the arpeggiated pattern of notes which starts the song? If so, I think it is a plucked electric guitar with some reverb, and maybe some chorus. In our band, our rhythm guitarists played the arpeggio pattern and I double that part using some electric guitar patch I found on my old Roland XV-5050. (I used a patch from my Roland because I needed to use a split, so I could also cover the synth solo, and my Electro 3 has no split capability).

For the intro, my guitarist is playing the riff chords and I do the arpeggios using a surprisingly good "Stratocaster electric guitar" on the XV5080, I play it from my D50.
For the rest, I Have a pads on the left hand on the stage 2, layered with some Strings on my Matrix, strings volume on Control pedal....
The solo is on right hand layered with the same kind of saw wave on the P08...
And finally, the Bass/Synth bass distorted sound in done by the NL2X, it's a 3rd, I will double my bass player with it.

I used the following patch as a starting point, it was a great starting point, it helped me to save a lot of time:

I can't use stage 2 sounds on my electro 5D, I'm searching for the soft high strings you hear in the background, the solo sounds and guitar is already done

If you're looking to make your string sound "softer," you could try enabling dynamics with filter velocity, and play softly. But also, from what I remember, those strings are more "synthy" sounding than real strings, right? In that case, I'd look at the sounds in the Analog Strings category of the Nord sample library.
