If you ever try to write

     server {
        server_name  default.explocity.com klk.explocity.com;

        location = / {
            if ($host ~* klk\.explocity\.com$ {
                ...
            }
        }
    }

This means that you should use

    server {
        server_name  default.explocity.com;

        location = / {
            ...
        }

    }

    server {
        server_name klk.explocity.com;

        location = / {
            ...
        }
    }

Do not mix server and locations.
A request should be routed first by server, then by location.
