502 Bad Gateway when uploading files (NGINX and NodeJS)

Hey Guys. Please help me out, I am pulling out my hair in frustration trying to fix this. So here is the issue. I am developing an app where the user can upload files. While the backend call seems to work fine, the call when uploading files returns a 502 Bad Gateway message.

The files actually get uploaded but the error message comes up. I think it has something to do with my nginx config so I am hoping you guys can point out where I am going wrong.

Here is the nginx error log message

[error] 3807#3807: *138 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 189.62.45.133, server: api-dev.app.com.br, request: "GET /users/files/5218de9eec94a7bb4467c95219b37b41ec1920420c808d9e11244f8d2a234cd6 HTTP/1.1", upstream: "https://161.35.116.108:2000/users/files/5218de9eec94a7bb4467c95219b37b41ec1920420c808d9e11244f8d2a234cd6", host: "api-dev.app.com.br", referrer: "https://dev.app.com.br/profile"

Here is my nginx.conf file

My conf.d folder is empty however I do have specific setting in sites-enabled. Here is my app.com.br.conf

I am a total noob when it comes to this stuff. Any help would be so much appreciated.

Any more question about the system and the configuration please let me know.

Thanks in Advance.
