It has nothing to do with whether they were up to spec originally and now don't because telecom did something.
FAA on Jan 20th of this year made a statement saying all these planes were approved to use under current new conditions for 5G. Now have since rolled back that for 747s(on Jan 25th) and 737s(23 Feb/27th Jan). Read their statements linked carefully again.
It tells FAA is not competently handling the situation. First they are caught totally unprepared for the 5G rollout after having years of notice, then issue approvals and are rolling back said approvals. At this point I am not inclined to believe they know what they are talking about at all.

It's not something you can do easily. In fact, apparently issues started cropping up with 400MHz guard band used in most of europe, when the towers malfunction.
