        You mean you can't access the modems? 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.2.1?

              That should work if the modems are able to respond.

              Can you ping them from the modem interfaces directly in the pfSense GUI?

                  Can you ping them if you select LAN as source there?

                  If so the NAT is working fine and you probably have a firewall rule missing somewhere.

                  If you;re using policy routing to send packets to a gateway grouyp you will need a firewall rule above that to bypass it to reach the modem interfaces.
