Cisco ASA NAT/ACL issues across EZVPN

I have an EZVPN running between two locations, Location A has a 5520 and is the EZVPN server, Location B has a 5506 and is a EZVPN client. Currently I'm trying to set NAT and ACL(s) so that hosts on the Location B inside network can access a few servers in Location A's DMZ. Below are my packet traces from both locations. Attached are sanitized configs from both locations.

On those packet traces I'm testing HTTPS access since it's one of the ports I need open across the two zones. Since it looks like the problem with Location A's ASA, I've tried the following NAT and ACL additions (outside_access_in is the ACL applied to the outside interface, dmz_access_in is the ACL applied to the DMZ):

access-list dmz_access_in extended permit tcp object (location B)-remote_network object-group DMZ_Servers eq https

nat (dmz,outside) source static DMZ_Servers DMZ_Servers destination static (location B)-remote_network (location B)-remote_network no-proxy-arp route-lookup

access-list outside_access_in extended permit tcp object (location B)-remote_network object-group DMZ_Servers eq https

None of those worked. Besides those ACL entries I have no entries in my ACLs concerning traffic from Location B. ASP packet captures have not helped either. Sanitized configs for both locations are as follows:
