"proxy_pass" must be inside "server{}", which must be inside "stream{}".

"map" also lives inside "stream{}".

The full set of stream modules can be seen at http://nginx.org/en/docs/;
scroll down to the "ngx_stream_*" section of the module list. Then you
can click in to the individual pages to see the context of each directive.

Alternatively, start from http://nginx.org/en/docs/dirindex.html and
look for the directive there; in this case you'll want "proxy_pass
(ngx_stream_proxy_module)", which should show what is needed.

If that does not show you the answer, copy-paste the config (redacted
appropriately) and you may get more help here.

Good luck with it,
