Last I tried, my nat rules weren't compatible with firewalld.  Like maybe a simpe iptables-save then a firewalld-save or the like.  Then maybe ask if to import it into firewalld's 'home', 'work', 'public', etc.

It sounds a bit like you are trying to use firewalld on a server.  I would not recommend using firewalld for anything but client boxes and, specifically, client boxes with simple rules.  If you are using this on a server I would uninstall firewalld and not use the complexity that it adds to iptables but rather just use iptables (and ip6tables).  There is nothing wrong with using your scripts on iptables and not using firewalld.  You seem to know how to configure iptables which is what firewalld aims to fix for people that don't.
