Set the primary and secondary controller for each AP. This can be found on the AP’s high availability tab. The controller name is case sensitive. If you are moving a lot, create a script to enter in the cli.

Addition to what Scott suggested, I would check if any AP-Groups configured on those controller. You need to ensure same ap group names configured & interface mapped to correct WLANs under ap groups on your 2nd WLC. If same ap group name not existing on 2nd controller, ap will go to default ap-group

Something like below if you do it via WLC CLI & need to configure primary & secondary both. You can go with primary , if those ap does not required any secondary WLC for failover.

config ap secondary-base <secondary_wlc_name> <ap-1-name> <secondary_wlc_mgtip>
config ap primary-base <primary_wlc_name> <ap-1-name> <primary_wlc_mgtip>

You can change ap group name via WLC CLI show below

config ap group-name <ap_group_name> <ap1_name>
y

config ap group-name <ap_group_name> <ap2_name>
y
