One way, Just use the rectangular grid tool, then convert to guides, do the same in each artboard

From the vertical ruler, drag five guides onto the active artboard.

Select them all.

With the Align panel set to Align to Artboards, click on Horizontal Distribute Center.

Repeat the process using guides dragged from the horizontal ruler, and Vertical Distribute Center

Lock guides.
