Nginx location matching order

I read some articles on nginx matching and they said the longer location block should be matched first.

However, when I try to set up a proxy for two locations, the first location pics up all traffic and the second does not get any of it.

This is my server config.

server {
listen 80;
server_name IP;
#return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
# nginx/sites-available/fdp.conf

location /lls/ {
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    proxy_pass_request_headers on;
    proxy_pass http://IP:8080;
}

location / {
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    proxy_pass_request_headers on;
    proxy_pass http://IP:8000/;
}
}

Why does nginx not redirect the traffic to the /lls proxy? I also tried to use regex location ~ /lls but also no luck here. Both applications run when I visit the ports on the IP.

I have an application running under port 8000. My goal is to add a second application running under /lls. For this I want all traffic to go to port 8000 unless /lls is in the url, then I want all traffic to go to the 2nd application on port 8080. In the current situation traffic intended for port 8080 is picked up by port 8000.

Output of curl -v IP/lls:
