reverse proxy multiple subdomains problems

[c0mputerking]

I am trying to do a redirect from http and a reverse proxy to my apache web
server. I would like to include several subdomains, they all have dns
records and apache virtual hosts setup on the other end.  However no matter
which of the 3 subdomains i try i always end up at https://my-site.com this
is fine for www.my-site.com but recipes.my-site.com is a supposed to be a
different website all together.

I am new with nginx and have a hunch that it may have something to do with
$server_name$request_uri not being the right option in my case but i'm not
sure see config below 

server {
        listen 172.16.0.10:80;
        server_name my-site.com www.my-site.com recipes.my-site.com;
        return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

server {
listen 172.16.0.10:443 ssl;
 
server_name my-site.com www.my-site.com recipes.my-site.com;
 
access_log /var/log/nginx/van-ginneken.com-access.log;
ssl_certificate /root/SYNC-certs/van-ginneken.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /root/SYNC-certs/van-ginneken.com/privkey.pem;
 
set $upstream 172.16.0.13;
 
location / {
proxy_pass_header Authorization;
proxy_pass https://$upstream;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Connection "";
proxy_buffering off;
client_max_body_size 0;
proxy_read_timeout 36000s;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_ssl_session_reuse off;
 }
}
