Cloudflare + nginx proxy manager session timeout when deleting anything

I use immich through a cloudflair domain name and nginx proxy manager and have a strange issue that whenever i do any action that involves deleting something (photo, api key, device) 9/10 times everything stops working and the webpage wont come back until i clear cookies and cache or relaunch the app. This happens on the web and iOS app. I am assuming it's something with my proxy setup or nginx config that I am missing. I have tried several different combinations of configs for nginx proxy manager but so far nothing has fixed it. I have attached photos from nginx proxy manager and immich logs This does not happen locally only through the proxy Here is my current nginx config:

thank you for that info i have always been using cloudflair automatic ssl so i never did true ssl on my end. Once i figured out how to create the cert and tested it the issue went away so i guess if anyone has a similar issue stop using Automatic SSL/TLS in cloudflair.
