IPv6 Accept Router Advertisements only for Gateway but no delegated prefix

Hi,

at moment, we got the UTM 9.355 and want to use IPv6. We receive Router Advertisements like this one below and i need some help understand them. As far as our Carrier told us, we have to manually set the WAN-side IPv6 for our WAN-Interface (which itself is LAG1 - an LACP Trunk) but we have to use the IPv6 Gateway sent us via those RA's since there are 2 routers which can change (HA Routers).

Also we should have a /64 Prefix routed towards us which is not sent via RA (no delegated prefix). So i assume, we just could use this Prefix internally since they said it's routed to us.

The RA which we receive does look like this (but i changed the address slightly for security reasons):

Wireshark-Output of the RA:
