Sean,Sorry for the long post. But... I ran this combined granule NRT on 2020-03-05 13:53:07 , and it failed as happens when finding a new way to do things. II ran it again at 2020-03-05 15:02:38 (still NRT) and it was was successful. However, I reprocess things days later, and that failed at the place where the NRT processing worked fine.

Brock,
The NRT attitude and ephemeris files are predicted data, predictions don't know about reality.
In this case the reality is that MODIS-Aqua executed a lunar roll maneuver on day 065, information of which the defninite attitude and ephemeris have knowledge:
https://mcst.gsfc.nasa.gov/modis-events-categories/routine-calibrations?event_date%5Bvalue%5D%5Byear%5D=&modis_mission=60

Interestingly, though, the maneuver was later in the day...but something was up, as the data indicate the spacecraft wasn't exactly stable.  These files are nighttime data, the image below is of the 11um channel (band 31).  Even if geolcation was successful, I doubt the data would be useful to you...
