Nginx ssl manual no-ip renewal not working

my no-ip cert expired after a year, so I renewed it, downloaded the new full chain pem file, put it in the ssl folder via file editor, but nothing has changed. I still can’t get to home assistant from the no-ip DNS name, and if I check the cert in my browser it says it is expired.

I even renamed the pem file in the ssl folder expecting something in nginx to break or log an error, but I don’t see anything.

Any ideas of what to troubleshoot for this?

Does the new file have the correct user permissions?

It may be there but doesn’t mean nginx can see it.

Can you check nginx logs for error?

Did you reboot after adding file?

i did check the logs, but they aren’t very verbose, and no errors.
I’m not sure what the permissions should be, I copied the file in using the Hile Editor.
