How do I run Node.js server with Socket.io in Apache using ProxyPass?

I'm trying to set up Socket.io connection in Apache using Node.js via ProxyPass. The server works just fine and returns data upon fetch, but Socket.io fails to connect for some reason. I tried setting different path option within Socket.io but that didn't work either.

httpd.conf

<VirtualHost 123.45.789:8005>
   <Location "/node">
      ProxyPass http://localhost:5555/
   </Location>
</VirtualHost>

Server

// Bunch of require() statements..

const server = http.createServer(app);

const io = require('socket.io')(server.listen(5555), {
   path: '/' // Tried '/node', 'node', '/node/'
});

io.on('connection', socket => {
   console.log('CONNECTED!') // This never logs obviously.
});

Client

import { io } from "socket.io-client";

const uri = 'http://123.45.789:8005';
// const uri = 'http://123.45.789:8005/node';
// const uri = 'http://123.45.789:8005/node/';
// const uri = 'http://123.45.789:8005/node/socket.io';
// const uri = 'http://123.45.789:8005/node/socket.io/';

const socket = io({
   path: uri,
   rejectUnauthorized: false,
});

socket.on('connect', () => console.log('CONNECTED!')); // Never logs either.

Console Error

GET http://10.***.***.***:8080/socketjs-node/info?t=1639773280240 net::ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

I'm totally lost.. any help would be great, thanks.
