I am trying to configure our EC2 instance to support https. Nothing we've tried is working

Question

Hi,
I have an EC2 instance which is running some REST endpoints written in C#/.net 6.  In order of importance, I'd like to figure out how to:
1) Respond to https properly
2) Ideally redirect http requests to https

Thus far, nothing I've tried is working.  In fact, I've actually broken http (which was working this morning) and despite reverting changes in the code, the instance is now redirecting http to https and then refusing to connect.

This is not a familiar area for me.  All I want to do is to have a secure connection to the server.  How does one accomplish this?

Option 3 would be an easy solution as your in AWS currently n
