Can I configure a particular port as active port / standby port, and if the connection through active port is failed, can I switch it?

I am trying to configure the personal Lab like the network topology below.

I am trying to configure the both server, active-standby bonding with 'one port in NIC 1', and 'one port in NIC 2'.
With this configuration, one interface will set as active, and another will set as standby.

Then, I will configure two switches for HA, which connected with both servers.
I think it will work with VRRP, so I am planning to do it.

Both servers need to be communicate each other.
This is important -- the communication packet should send to both servers' active interface, the packet should never send to standby interface even if the packet rejected at the standby interface of each server.

To implement this:
can I configure the port which connects to the active interface on server as active port,
and the port which connects to the standby interface on server as standby port (on VRRP combined SW)?

I can't figure out how to implement this, with my small knowledge of networking... 😥

If is there any alternative ways to implement this, please feel free to give me a suggestion.
Thanks for reading this question, I desperately need help from experts 😭
