These two lenses have a combined focus and control ring. Since the lenses don't have a switch to change the operation of the control ring between focus and control ring operation, you need to make the change in the camera menu. 

Check the setting on the AF4 menu, you should see the option for Focus / control ring, and it is set to FOCUS by default, change this to control and then the control ring will follow the functions you have assigned.
