I think you are confusing IP addresses used on the public Internet and IP
addresses used "inside" the wireguard VPN.  AllowedIPs refers to IP
addresses *inside* the VPN.

From what I gathered, your hosts have public IPv6 addresses, and you are
using this to make the hosts communicate with each other over the public
Internet.  You are then trying to use IPv4 addresses inside the VPN.

If that is the case, then AllowedIPs should refer to the IPv4 addresses
(10.24.XX.XX in your example).
