Find Finding distance between point layer and matching polygon layer

I have two points (GPS photo coordinates) per polygon (area photo is taken). The two points have an identifier that links both to their corresponding polygon, so I already know each polygon will have two corresponding points. This is just to make sure the photos' gps points are within a reasonable distance of the polygon (like 500ft). I do not care if they are closer to one polygon than another, I just need to ensure the photo gps points are somewhat near their respective polygon.

I have several thousand cases of this and am using ArcGIS Pro. I have been toying with the near tool, but it seems it will just find the nearest feature, whether or not it shares the correct attributes. 

Is there another tool I could utilize to figure this out?

Thanks
