    I have never attempted to try it using MacOS but

    First I would suggest to check locally that the Macs  in office actually has a working VNC, when its all working locally move to the F5.
    You should use Application tunnel or SSL VPN.
    F5 stated the following 
    "To configure an Application Tunnel, you must know the ports used by VNC. By default, VNC will listen on a TCP port in the range 5900 - 5999. Refer to the manual for your VNC software to learn how to display or control the port used by VNC."
