As suggested, read https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#location

You want "^~".

You don't even need "try_files" -- just make sure that "root" is correct
in this location. Read the error log if the response is not what you want.

The config change will not take effect until a server reload or restart is done.

Good luck with it,
