You mean Pro Tools Standard 2019.12? Or Pro Tools Ultimate 2019.12?

Back then Standard was limited to 32 I/O, so only the first 32 inputs in the aggregate will work. Setup>IO will show the IO but it will just not work, (the usual Avid don’t give a damn about user confusion). You would need to be able to remove the ADAT and other inputs in the Console so they don’t show up in the aggregate, I cannot recall if that is possible, but even if you can it’s the entire wrong approach, use ADAT as has already been pointed out.

More recent Pro Tools Studio is limited to 64 I/O. Recent Ultimate limited to 256 IO (for CoreAudio interfaces).

Aggregate I/O is always best avoided if you have direct expansion options like ADAT. AFAIK Avid only officially supports aggregating the Mac Built-In Output with another interface, and the results you get are always very dependent on vendor drivers and ability to clock the interfaces together well. All best avoided, which has been pointed out in many hundreds of posts on DUC.
