Villain possible range? Villain possible range?

This hand has me scratching my head if I played it ok or if I misread the situation.

Villain: I have villain marked as a regular at 0.05 / 0.10 PLO but I think it's because I played villain a lot early on but haven't seen them for a while. Have 266 hands where villain is 36/26/7.

Hand takes place at $0.10 / $0.25 PLO. I haven't really seen this player at this level so not sure if they are taking a shot. Playing at 120BB effective.

Villain min raises from MP. This immediately caught my attention as I don't recall villain doing this before. However, I'm not sure if it's because villain is playing a higher stake. I'm planning on 3betting until CO does so I simply flat with AKQ4 double suited to the A and K.

Flop: Qs8h5s. I hit top pair plus the nut flush draw. MP (main villain) checks, CO cbets, I flat and villain check raises pot. CO quickly folds. I was about to fold but decided to think this through. Villain could min raise preflop with QQ bad side cards, 4 card straight or 3 card straight with gap or dangler without double suited or something like a pocket pair and 2 good side cards. What's throwing me off is the min raise so I discard AA, KK or 4 card straights double suited as I haven't seen villain min raise preflop before. The more I think I discard QQ as I have a blocker. Check raise pot is a strong message but I think villain has something like JT98 for an inside wrap with middle pair, maybe 8765 for two pair with open end straight draw or something like 9876 for a wrap. Villain could maybe have 88 or 55 here.

I feel like my decision boils down to how many wraps are in this range and how many sets. I have top pair with flush draw which isn't something I'm comfortable going all in with. It's a decent but not great hand. I'm ahead of any wrap, any wrap + flush draw but only about a 30% chance against a set but I block one of the three possible sets. Villain wouldn't check raise pot with two pair so I'm not including that in this range (+ the flop is a bit disconnected so the only two pair I can see would be 8765 which villain could check raise with). I unblock all these wraps.

Please tell me what else you'd include or not include in this range? Is my thought process correct? what would you do after the check raise? I have some notes on villain but to be honest I didn't read them during the hand so excluding them from here for now. After a few responses I'll write what my notes say to see if it changes anything
