NGINX + PHP + ASDF: asdf plugin is using PHP 5.6 instead of 7.4

Goal: I need to load a PHP website (7.4) running NGINX using ASDF plugin. (Mac OS, M2 processor, NGINX and ASDF installed)

issue: when I load the website via nginx I get this:

Fatal error: Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 7.4.0". You are running 5.6.40. in /usr/local/var/www/my_sulu_project/vendor/composer/platform_check.php on line 25

Trying to debug the Error

Here are some commands I ran:

$ php -v
PHP 7.4.33 (cli) (built: Apr  5 2023 18:33:55) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) The PHP Group

$ asdf list php
 *7.4.33
  8.2.6

$ which php
/Users/**redacted**/.asdf/shims/php

$ which php-fpm
/Users/**redacted**/.asdf/shims/php-fpm

$ composer -V
Composer version 2.2.21 2023-02-15 13:07:40

### !!! note that is showing `php-fpm` version 5.6 below

$ nginx -t && nginx -s reload

More Info: I installed it via ASDF, because I need to use multiple versions of PHP, depending on which project I'm working on, including a migration to 8.x in the pipeline.

I'm using framework Sulu CMS 1.6 (Symfony), and according to these docs is how you configure nginx, but because I'm using asdf plugin, I had to edit the fastcgi_pass line, which I changed to fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;

Running the php command gives me the correct version, even running composer

I installed PHP 7.4 via ASDF both locally and globally.

I'm thinking is that maybe there is a way to point /usr/local/opt/[email protected]/sbin/php-fpm to /Users/**redacted**/.asdf/shims/php-fpm ?

or maybe NGINX needs to be configured another way?

I also tried changing fastcgi_pass unix:/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/sbin/php-fpm; to the asdf php-fpm shim location, but without success.

Example of Installation to Reproduce this

brew install libzip
asdf install php latest:7
asdf local php latest:7
git clone https://github.com/sulu/sulu-minimal.git
# composer 2.2 is required in my project
composer self-update --2.2
composer install
