I suspect that the modem in your wAP does not have the appropriate band coverage for Verizon in your area. It lacks band 13 which is a major part of Verizons coverage in much of the country. The US modem in your wAP is better suited for ATT or T-mobile .

It is possible that your hAP AC2's were preconfigured by a Mikrotik dealer for a wisp or other entity that went under and a reseller acquired them. In this case you may need to try netinstall to reset them. If you bought them from a Mikrotik dealer I would send them back.
