Why is my ElasticBeanstalk environment showing 502 Bad Gateway for ASP.NET Core Web API?

I have an Elastic Beanstalk environment that was running fine when I was using SQL Server RDS database, but now I wanted to switch to Postgresql.

This is my appsettings.json config file:

appsettings.json file

Here is my Program.cs:

For some odd reason, my environment status health is Ok:

AWS Environment

but I get a "Bad Gateway" error:

Bad Gateway

What could be the issue because when I tried to look at logs I see:
