First, that's not a BEKK model; you need the option MV=BEKK.
That's the correct way to compute and test the standardized residuals. How large a data set do you have, and how large are the correlations on the squares? With a large data set, it's quite possible for very small autocorrelations to be significant at the .05 level.
