Challenge validation is occurring on port 80 which my server does not listen on. How can I get the URL to be HTTPS for the validation?

See the relevant sections in below full error where is says Fetching HTTP... and lower on PORT 80.

http-01 verification will always use port 80. if you need verification over port 443 you'll have to use tls-alpn verification, which is a bit more complicated. see the docs for more information.
