If your firewall is doing src nat, then it need to add X-Forwarded-For header. If it is not, then you can apply http profile to the vip with XFF enabled option. There is no other way

If you already enable XFF. You can capture packet which F5 send to server.
And you can see header X-Forwarded-for which include Client IP.
Then you need to config server to retrieve Client IP from this header instead of snat IP from F5.
