Splunk for F5 Access

I have installed the 3 apps that are to support Splunk for F5, namely: Access, Network, and Security. However, I'm not getting any of the dashboards and predefined searches to show up. After doing some digging, looks like I'm not getting data on the right sourcetype. But here is what I have. my SplunkforF5Access/local/inputs.conf looks like the following:

[udp://10035]
connection_host = dns
sourcetype = syslog
index = f5
source = udp:514
disabled = 0

and haven't changed the props.conf or the transforms.conf. here is a part of my props.conf:

[source::udp:514]
TRANSFORMS-apmsourcetype = apm_sourcetyper
TRANSFORMS-firepasssourcetype = firepass_sourcetyper

and I believe the part in transforms.conf that correlates to it is:

############APM EXTRACTIONS################
[apm_sourcetyper]
DEST_KEY = MetaData:Sourcetype
REGEX = :\s(?:0149|0125|0158)[0-9A-Fa-f]{4}:\d+:\s[0-9A-Fa-f]{8}:
FORMAT = sourcetype::apm_log

and:

############ FirePass sourcetype Extractions ###############
[firepass_sourcetyper]
DEST_KEY = MetaData:Sourcetype
REGEX = (?:172\.16\.73\.(4|5))
FORMAT = sourcetype::firepass_log

Here is my question, even though I have my source set as udp:514,why don't I see two sourcetypes: firepass_log and more importantly apm_log??
