I clicked through the settings in the switch and couldn't find any kind of dual-personality port settings.
Port status for the two SFP shows "down".
When configured,
Switch<-->Switch<-->Router

The LC to ST connectors had mislabeled lines. When i swapped one side of my connection, it solved the issue. This was after i went through 3 sets of SFPs.
Thanks for your help and patience.

You're welcome.
If it is not OK swap cables on one side of cable (Rx and Tx pair).
Additionally, (I am not familiar with netgear) maybe you have dual-personality port so you may need to manually configure port to use SFP and not RJ45 port.
