WAX630 Not Working When LAG Enabled on Unifi Switches

Does anyone know if the WAX630 supports LACP (802.3ad) for LAG?   I cannot get LAG to work at all if I enable LAG on any of my Unifi switches (different models) on any of the 3 WAX630 APs I have.   Per Unifi (https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007279753-UniFi-Network-Link-Aggregation-LAG-FAQs), they only support LACP but if I hook up a Netgear switch that supports LAG it works fine.  My guess is maybe WAX630 doesn't use LACP for LAG.

Here's where I setup LAG on the WAX630:

On the Unifi switch I have Aggregate enabled:

Once I do that, I can no longer connect to the local IP of the WAX630 until I disable LAG (set Operation to Switching) on the Unifi switch.

I only use local for management mode on the WAX630 APs:

Where from do you take assume from your WAX630 should support LACP on a LAG? Neither the WAX630 Data Sheet nor the fine Insight Managed WiFi 6E AXE7800 Tri-band Multi-Gig Access Point Model WAX630E User Manual does mention LACP LAG anywhere.

LACP is an optional extension to IEEE 802.3AD (IEEE 802.3AD-2000), moved to the correct layer years later as IEEE 802.3AX (IEEE 802.1AX-2008), and in no way the one and only default LAG.

Thanks for the response, yea it looks like just Static LAG is supported from that screenshot.  No I wasn't assuming it was supporting LACP, it was more of a question if LACP was supported was all.
