That nginx config with that request for that url, works for me --
http 200 with the content of the file.

If there is nothing in nginx logs, that suggests that maybe you are not
connecting to the ip:port that uses this config; or perhaps that there
is more config that is relevant that you are not showing.

You can prove that you are using the config that you think by, for
example, adding a snippet like

  location = /test-this/ { return 200 "Yes, this is correct\n"; }

and then requesting http://www.sandyman.xyz/test-this/
