Not sure exactly where the problem is, using HII forms to set static IPv6 addresses. There might be two issues, likely related.

Scroll down, press Save changes, Esc to previous menu and reopen the boot attempt again. Notice the prefix is lost and the values uppercase:
(would be also nice to update the help string on the right so that user knows how to specify ipv6 prefix)
This results in subnet_mask_prefix=0
in the NBFT table:
{
"index":2,
"transport":"tcp",
"pcidev":"0:0:4.0",
"mac_addr":"52:54:00:72:c5:af",
"vlan":0,
"ip_origin":1,
"ipaddr":"4321::bbbb:2",
"subnet_mask_prefix":0,
