This is not correct, see 
https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#server where it 
says

Syntax:	server { ... }
Default:	—
Context:	http
Sets configuration for a virtual server. There is no clear separation 
between IP-based (based on the IP address) and name-based (based on the 
“Host” request header field) virtual servers. Instead, the listen 
directives describe all addresses and ports that should accept 
connections for the server, and the server_name directive lists all 
server names.

So the ports are defined in the listen directive, and the server names 
in the server_name directive.

Your approach of multiple https servers works fine on my kit with the 
approach you have taken.

Suggest there may be a typo in your configuration - try

sudo nginx -t

to prove both servers are loaded.
