APM how to setup ACL link using L4 + L7 when using http and port 7002

I am adding a few links to the ACL list on our APM to allow access from our mobile ipad devices. All is working except a link that is using http but port 7002. I am trying to set it up as L4 + L7 but currently we don't have anything setup this way. I've found this information while searching- "With network access, you can use a Layer 7 ACL that is configured to provide access control for port 80 HTTP connections. However, if you want to provide access control for anything that is not on port 80, you must create a second virtual server, configured with the IP address to which the ACL entry applies, and the default access profile, access". I created a virtual server and used the address to which the ACL applies but it's still failing when trying to access from the ipad. Error they receive is "Network Connection was lost". Again, all the other links work with http and 80 or https but only using L4. I was hoping for a simple explanation of how/what should be setup when using http with port 7002 while using L4 + L7. (Do I have to use the rewrite policy , should the access policy be the default/none like the article stated, etc...) And my experience with F5s isn't very in depth as I just started learning this device.
