The first thing that comes to mind is that your BIG-IP VLANs and interfaces are not "singing from the same sheet of music" as the network adapters.
- Check the VLANs on your BIG-IP system to determine which interface(s) each uses - tmsh list net vlan interfaces
- Check the MAC addresses for each BIG-IP interface - tmsh list net interface mac-address
- Map the interface MAC addresses to their respective Network Adapter on the VM
- Finally, make sure each Network Adapter on the VM is assigned to the correct network.
