https not being forced after modifying apache configuration for reverse proxy

I'm running an Apache/Cpanel server and wrote an Apache host domain include config file to point a one of my domain names to a port number for a Next.js app I created.

The although it partially works. The problem i'm encountering is that it's not forcing https in a lot of instances, and instead pulling an apache error page.

Is my include.conf files incorrect?

Here is the script I have for it:

 

ServerAdmin josh@howard.codes
    ServerName www.howard.codes

    ProxyRequests off

    <Proxy *>
            Order deny,allow
            Allow from all
    </Proxy>

    <Location />
            ProxyPass http://localhost:8080/
            ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:8080/
    </Location>

  Hey there!  I wouldn't expect the cPanel >> Domains >> "Force HTTPS Redireciton" tool to work in this case, as that gets added to the Apache configuration's vhost for the domain.  Here is what that looks inside the Apache configuration on the machine:

  <VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>
    ServerName domain.com
      <IfModule rewrite_module>
      RewriteEngine On
  
                  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/\.well-known/cpanel-dcv/[0-9a-zA-Z_-]+$ [OR]
              RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/\.well-known/pki-validation/[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt(?:\ Sectigo\ DCV)?$ [OR]
              RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/\.well-known/pki-validation/(?:\ Ballot169)? [OR]
              RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/\.well-known/acme-challenge/[0-9a-zA-Z_-]+$
          RewriteRule ^ - [END]
  
      RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
      RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
      RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

  Since your tool isn't using the standard ports, the redirection doesn't happen.

  Did you manually configure that proxy or was that setup using https://docs.cpanel.net/knowledge-base/web-services/nginx-with-reverse-proxy/.  If you're using our implementation of Nginx I'd expect the redirection to work.
