I would rather opt-in for using $scheme so you don't pull your hair when using the wrong protocol in the server location block when copy-pasting configs around:

  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

NGINX Source $scheme.

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Scheme https;

This helped me a lot. I was using

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

But for some reason $scheme was getting http value, so when using hard-coded https value, solved. Thanks.
