Godaddy SSL Certificates Install in NGINX Server | Failing

I have requested SSL Certificate from GoDaddy, I got Private Key & CSR file, which downloaded as TEXT format. enter image description here

I have modified file extensions as follows

**Original File Names**
firstcsrfile.txt
firstprivatekey.txt

**After Renaming File Names**
firstcsrfile.csr
firstprivatekey.key

domain.com.chained with below files downloaded from GoDaddy by selecting other option enter image description here From above files

cat domain.com.crt intermediate.crt > domain.com.chained.crt

My nginx.conf file

worker_processes 4;

events { worker_connections 1024; }

http {
    server {
        listen 443 ssl;
        server_name _;

        ssl_certificate     /etc/nginx/ssl/domain.com.chained.crt;
        ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/firstprivatekey.key;

        ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
        add_header Strict-Transport-Security max-age=15768000;

        include /etc/nginx/mime.types;

        location / {
            root  /usr/share/nginx/html;
        }
    }
}

I have tried multiple times with various approaches but always same error

2022/10/24 13:51:20 [emerg] 1#1: SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey("/etc/nginx/ssl/firstprivatekey.key") failed (SSL: error:0B080074:x509 certificate routines:X509_check_private_key:key values mismatch)
nginx: [emerg] SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey("/etc/nginx/ssl/firstprivatekey.key") failed (SSL: error:0B080074:x509 certificate routines:X509_check_private_key:key values mismatch)

I have followed few blogs from Godaddy and some random blogs https://blog.yudiz.com/install-ssl-certificate-with-nginx/ Since last 6-7 days struggled a lot, and where I am doing mistakes not sure !!.

    First You should chose other and download, after that In the downloaded file you will combine the .crt and bundle.crt file.

    You will save it as a .pem in the /etc/nginx/ssl file path. I tried to do that as well.
