My lanternfly trap consists of a: mason jar, apple cider vinegar, and dish soap. Will this attract, and kill, my lady bugs that I just released to kill my aphids on my plants?

You could have just sprayed a dish soap and water solution on the aphids to kill them. I do know flies will drown in water with dish soap not sure about ladybugs but I've never seen them in there. I use that out of reach of my chickens this time of year to thin the flies down.
