Nginx won't serve static files (Reverse Proxy + Express API)?

I cannot manage to get Nginx to serve my static files. It always gives me 302 errors. I have my static files in a public folder (/home/user/Documents/myapp.com/CURRENT PROJECT/public) and want to serve them when a user goes to the site and requests myapp.com/css/style.css, myapp.com/js/main_script.js... I have the permission but from what I can tell it either can't find the file or ignores it completely and tries to serve them from the API(I can't use express.static anymore).

user www-data;
pid /run/nginx.pid

http {
    upstream loadbalance {
        least_conn;
        server myapp:8003;
    }

    server {
        listen 80;
        listen 443 ssl http2;
        server_name www.myapp.com;

        ssl_certificate         /etc/ssl/certs/cert.pem;
        ssl_certificate_key     /etc/ssl/private/key.pem;
        ssl_client_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/cloudflare.crt;

        return 301 https://myapp.com$request_uri;
    }

    server {
        root "/home/user/Documents/myapp.com/CURRENT PROJECT/public";
        server_name myapp.com;

        ##
        # SSL Settings
        ##
        listen 443 ssl http2;
        listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
        ssl_certificate         /etc/ssl/certs/cert.pem;
        ssl_certificate_key     /etc/ssl/private/key.pem;
        ssl_client_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/cloudflare.crt;

        # This would not work
        location /css/ {
                autoindex on;
        }

        }
