Cisco FTD to Nexus VPC issues

Hey all. I'm having an issue when trying to turnup some new firewalls. We currently have two Cisco 2100 FTDs that are running in Active/Passive mode. They are running a port channel with two links each to two of our core Nexus 3K switches. So eth 1/2 on each FTD runs to port eth 1/20 on each Nexus and 1/3 on FTD to 1/21 on Nexus. We are running OSPF to link the pairs for routing. The problem I have is the port-channel comes up but it I get inconsistent traffic flow. All traffic goes out to the Internet but it seems if the return traffic hits the secondary Nexus it ends up dropping. If I disable to routing on the secondary Nexus all traffic works fine. I've tried looking online and I think it has to do with traffic coming back into the secondary switch and then trying to route over the vpc peer-link to the primary switch and it drops it then but I'm not sure.
