Synology LACP Hash / XOR

I have a Synology connected to a UniFi switch via LACP. My understanding is that both the switch and Synology use L2 hashing.

The Synology sits on its own subnet for traffic control at the firewall level. This, everything goes through the firewall to connect to it.

Does this essentially limit the LACP hashing since it’s always the same MAC of the FW interfaces?

I am considering using the adaptive load or balanced XOR options of the Synology for my use case, or moving the LACP to a switch that has more hashing options. UniFi is very limited here.

Appreciate any insight.
