AGM731F had to be reseated after a power outage.
We have 2 M4300-52G-PoE+ ProSAFE 48-port 1G PoE+ and 2-port 10GBASE-T and 2-port 10G SFP+ switches, both with a AGM731F SFP Transceiver in port 52 on each. After a power outage, we always have to re...

Definitively not a normal operation procedure.
What firmware is installed and active on these M4300-52G?
Intentionally deployed 1000BASE-SX SFP? Are these used for the direct connection of these two switches? Or are the other 2-10GBASE-T ports configured into a lag somehow?

The firmware is: 12.0.0.15

The 2 M4300 switches are stacked using ports 51 on both, with the AXC761transceivers and the connector cable.
Ports 52 on both M4300 switches have the AGM731F transceivers and are members of Lag 1, connecting OM3 fiber to our top of rack switches in our server room.
Whenever we loose power for a long enough time that the UPS times out and these switches shutdown, when the power is eventually restored, both AGM731F transceivers are not responsive with no link or activity shown on them. I then have to disconnect each one, pull them out and push them back in, and reconnect the fiber connections to get them to come back up. Would really like to figure out how to prevent this from happening, so that when power is restored, they come back online on their own.

Ok, this makes up the switch stacking.

Unless I'm wrong (more of a Smart Switch Series geek), we have no LAG spanning multiple devices on a stack, lack of what is named MLAG. But then, why should the single fiber link to the unknown (1 GB really?) rack top switches. This is why I asked about more details in this area. Should the copper links and the fiber links associated to a single LAG?
