    when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
  set payloadLength [UDP::payload length]
  set address [IP::client_addr]
  set addressLength [ string length $address ]
  UDP::payload replace $payloadLength $addressLength $address
}

    You can also use the CLIENT_DATA and SERVER_DATA events and take a look at https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/irules/UDP__payload.html

I tried this iRule for DNS and as soon as I apply the rule in the VIP I stop getting responses, also while collecting captures on the LTM I a "Malformed Packet" on the query from the LTM and the response from the server is a "refused".

Any idea what could be causing this issue? Did you got it working on your side?
