'Create an SSL connection to my API on EC2 Instance using a load balancer

I have an API that I created on an ec2 instance. Call it with an http and it works and responds well:

http://ec2 .... us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com:8080/api ...

I have an Application Load Balancer with a target group that is for that ec2 instance and the current target group status is healthy.

I am trying to make a secure connection to the api using the load balancer however I get a 404 error.

My goal is to be able to use the API via the SSL enabled load balancer. I am not sure what configuration is missing. Any ideas?

api ssl
