When I use #### for a level 4 heading, the output in pdf(latex) does not leave a line space before the paragraph begins. For example,
#### Heading 4
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.
Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s,
when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type
specimen book.
Output only in pdf(latex) looks like this

I have read everywhere that r markdown allows 1-6 #’s for the headings, so I am trying to figure out what am I doing wrong here.
Also I figured I could use \subsubsubsubsection instead of #### for the heading but that gives me an error.

Creating Headings and Subheadings We can insert headings and subheadings in R Markdown using the pound sign # . There are six heading/subheading sizes in R Markdown. The number of pound signs before your line of text determines the heading size, 1 being the largest heading and 6 being the smallest.
You can create RStudio headers using the Ctrl + Shift + R command. A text box will automatically pop up for you to name. This ensures that the length of all headers are equal and it saves you time from typing out the dashes. You may choose to use other heading styles (that won't be tracked by RStudio).
To change the output size you can use the corresponding LaTeX commands, set just before the code junk. The smallest option would be \tiny . For a full overview consider e.g. this. After the code junk it's important to set back to the size you used before, e.g. \normalsize .
Creating documents with R Markdown starts with an . Rmd file that contains a combination of markdown (content with simple text formatting) and R code chunks. The . Rmd file is fed to knitr, which executes all of the R code chunks and creates a new markdown (. md) document which includes the R code and its output.
See Mico's answer to the following question:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/60209/how-to-add-an-extra-level-of-sections-with-headings-below-subsubsection
Add this code to your tex header file and that should do it:
\documentclass{article}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand\paragraph{\@startsection{paragraph}{4}{\z@}%
{-2.5ex\@plus -1ex \@minus -.25ex}%
{1.25ex \@plus .25ex}%
{\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}}
\makeatother
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{4} % how many sectioning levels to assign numbers to
