Neither Shorewall6 nor Netfilter6 is responsible for routing. What
Shorewall6 *does* do is set the ipv6 forwarding flags for the interfaces
based on your interfaces file. That is working:

Did you set those two flags and test forwarding before you installed
Shorewall6? That should be the only thing needed to enable IPv6
forwarding through your router. If it works without Shorewall6
(shorewall6 clear), then you have a Shorewall6 problem; otherwise, there
is something else going on in your setup.
