An appropriate word would be:
sandwich MW
transitive verb
1 : to make into or as if into a sandwich
especially : to insert or enclose between usually two things of another quality or character
As in The module consists of two layers of A that sandwich a layer of B.
However, I think a more natural phrasing uses sandwiched by:
The module consists of a layer of B sandwiched by two layers of A
The may not sound like the most scientific term, but it is frequently used in composite material papers. See this article that lists "sandwich structures" as one of its keywords. Other articles can be found by using similar search terms.

While the verb sandwich will be readily understood, yet another word which should work is flank.
The module consist of two layers of A that flank a layer of B
Lexico/ODO:
flank
VERB [WITH OBJECT]
1 Be on each or on one side of.
‘Two black leather sofas flanked a low table in front of the receptionist, and Wendy chose one.’

This works, but it doesn't include two specific meanings of sandwiched: close physical contact, and flat layers.

Flank suggests side-by-side contact, instead of a vertical stacking. And why use it anyway, when sandwich is perfect for the job?

What you're asking for is a verb, however what you're describing here is the position of things relative to other things. So (in my opinion) what fits better here is a preposition.
"The module consists of three layers: one layer of B, and two adjacent layers of A"
You could also use adjoining:
"The module consists of three layers: one layer of B, with two adjoining layers of A"

These both sound somewhat ambiguous to me as to the ordering of the layers. It's not clear if the adjacent*/*adjoining describes the two layers of A in relation to each other, or each layer of A in relation to the layer of B.

What you're asking for is a verb, however what you're describing here is the position of things relative to other things. So (in my opinion) what fits better here is a preposition.
"The module consists of three layers: one layer of B, and two adjacent layers of A"

These both sound somewhat ambiguous to me as to the ordering of the layers. It's not clear if the adjacent*/*adjoining describes the two layers of A in relation to each other, or each layer of A in relation to the layer of B.
