Then why did MMX make the claim that they could calculate the acceleration relative to the aether when it did not accelerate enough to find the difference of acceleration according to GR?

The apparatus was designed to measure the velocity relative to the aether, not the acceleration relative to the aether. Furthermore, just because something is not sensitive to GR effects does not imply that it is not sensitive to SR effects.
