Fortigate 1801F HA + Cisco Nexus 9504 + LACP = :(

I'm really struggling here. I've got a pair of Fortigate 1801F firewalls in Active/Passive HA (with Split VDOM) that I'm trying to connect to a Nexus 9504 w/ (2) N9K-X97160YC-EX line cards and I can't get the aggregates online, not reliably anyway.

po11: FG1 port39 (40Gbe) -> Eth1/51 FG1 port40 (40Gbe) -> Eth2/51 po12: FG2 port39 (40Gbe) -> Eth1/52 FG2 port40 (40Gbe) -> Eth2/52 

"show port-channel summary" returns this:

11 Po11(SD) Eth LACP Eth1/51(s) Eth2/51(s) 12 Po12(SU) Eth LACP Eth1/52(s) Eth2/52(P) 

No matter what I do, I can't get more than one port online, it's not always one belonging to the active unit (in the example above, po12 is the standby), and nothing changes during a failover unless I manually bounce the links.

It's worth mentioning I have 10Gbe ports setup for WAN and there are no issues with the aggregates on those.

Cisco Config:

Fortigate Config:

Any suggestions on next steps here?
