I think somebody put the sticker on top on the wrong way. The flange stamped H is really H, and the V is really V. On rectangular waveguide the dimensions are opposite of what you would think - the wide slot being parallel with the ground is vertical. Make sure the slots on the radios line up. Since these don’t have pins to align the flanges you might want to align the antennas using standard methods of RF alignment, and then when done go back and try rolling the radios on the flanges to see if you can get any better signal through the waveguide.
