SoftRAID volumes mount because of the MacOS SoftRAID driver. Synology is running Linux. It cannot mount a SoftRAID volume.

If you connect the SoftRAID volume to your Mac, and the Synology over Either net or USB to the Mac, your Mac will see the Synology and you can copy the data over.

You just have it reversed.

Is this even possible or is there something else that needs to be done.   Thanks in advance
