What Instant version? What format did you use to import the certificate?
I once had an issue with Instant 8.6 (if I remember correct) where it could not upload the certificate with encrypted key in PEM, but with an unencrypted key in PEM it worked. ... well I could upload, but the certificate could not be used. This may be the same. You can try to upgrade to 8.8+ or so, or decrypt the key and try with an unencrypted PEM to upload the certificate. My use-case was for a radsec client certificate, so different use-case, but you can try. Or reach out to Aruba TAC.
