I have also read something about Proxy SSL on the Server Profile and Client profile. will this work for my issue?

I may have misspoken about not being able to use the SSL proxy feature though I have never actually tried it myself. Give it a whirl in a pre-prod environment and see if your irule still works. Make sure however that your clientSSL profile only includes ciphers that your backend server can negotiated. I do know that they have to be compatible to work. https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/13000/300/sol13385.html & https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/ltm-implementations-11-3-0/14.html should get you started.
