Facing redirection issue while setting up WordPress with Nginx via Amazon API Ga

Description:-
We have our main website xyz.com(served by Amazon API Gateway and Load Balancer) and want our blogs to be present on xyz.com/blogs. So, we have set up Amazon API Gateway and Load Balancer to redirect any request of the for xyz.com/blogs to the EC2 containing WordPress with Nginx.

Problem:-
The problem that we are facing is, the home page is rendered fine but when we try to render any other page, e.g:- xyz.com/blogs/my-first-post/ or xyz.com/blogs/wp-admin then it gets stuck over there and nothing comes as response. As a part of our initial debugging, we found out that WordPress is making redirections to the Network Load Balancer url, (which as per our guess) is not accessible and we are not getting any response.

This is how our defualt nginx conf looks like (/etc/nginx/conf.d/xyz_blogs.conf), which we got from this link => WordPress|Nginx

# Upstream to abstract backend connection(s) for php
upstream php {
        server unix:/tmp/php-cgi.socket;
        server 127.0.0.1:9000;
}

server {
        ## Your website name goes here.
        server_name xyz.com;
        ## Your only path reference.
        root /var/www/html;
        ## This should be in your http block and if it is, it's not needed here.
        index index.php;

        location = /favicon.ico {
                log_not_found off;
                access_log off;
        }

        location = /robots.txt {
                allow all;
                log_not_found off;
                access_log off;
        }

        location / {
                # This is cool because no php is touched for static content.
                # include the "?$args" part so non-default permalinks doesn't break when using query string
                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
                #NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini
                include fastcgi.conf;
                fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
                fastcgi_pass php;
        }

        location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico)$ {
                expires max;
                log_not_found off;
        }
}

How shall we resolve this issue?
A prior thanks for any help given hereby.
