Nginx server blocks not redirecting

I am working on a project at https://modernamedia.no/ and I am trying to do a multiple of things

• redirect all calls to www.modernamedia.no to https://modernamedia.no/
• proxypass localhost:5000 to api.modernamedia.no
• redirect all http calls to https.

the last one is working. however, the first two are not working. You can test it yourself by going to https://www.modernamedia.no/

I am also struggling reaching my localhost through an API call, but that may be a code related problem.
