In Motion Studio go to device menu and click Restore Defaults. Retest the encoders.

Factory defaults are for quadrature encoders so assuming something we set wrong previously this should work.

If it does not double check your signal wires are on the correct pins. The encoder pins are in a row starting from the edge of the board.

Based on the quadrature signal you should be seeing encoder values changing. There aren't very many things that can be wrong. Settings for encoder mode(Restore Defaults will fix that). Wiring the correct pins, your description says that is right but double check. Something wrong with the board, very unlikely since we do test the encoder pins along with all the other I/O before shipping but does happen.
