NGINX Reverse Proxy - ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS - how to fix?

Until now, I used a PHP script on the main server B 93.151.75.75, which was behind the NGINX reverse proxy server A 173.176.183.183. On the website2.com domain name. And it worked. Now I have installed a new PHP script on the website2.com domain name and am crashing ((( If I set the HTTP protocol in the script settings, I get mixed content errors. If I turn on the HTTPS protocol, then I get an error - ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS. I tried placing this script on the website3.com domain name and it worked fine. Of course my main server B 93.151.75.75 has SSL certificates from Cloudflare on the website3.com domain name. How can I make this PHP script work correctly on the website2.com domain? What am I doing wrong in server A 173.176.183.183 reverse proxy settings?

I am attaching below NGINX reverse proxy A 173.176.183.183 config and information from Redirect Checker. I would be very grateful for advice!

I needed to add this line to the common Nginx reverse proxy options -

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

and the problem was resolved.
