AWS - API Gateway - HTTPS Request returning 404 Not Found - aws-api-gateway

Question

I am working on creating a new request in AWS API Gateway. I am having issues with a 404 not found on the URL request.
The request (had to create fake one for the question):
GET https://hello.stackoverflow.com/services/misc/myroute/v1/swagger.json
I created a route in API Gateway ANY /services/misc/myroute/{proxy+}
I attached the route to a Load Balancer Listener integration
I set up the listener rule in the Load Balancer:
IF Path is /services/misc* Then Forward to Target
IF Requests otherwise not routed Then Forward to Default
Created logs for this system in the AWS API Gateway: Monitor -> Logging -> Set Log Destination
Set variables for the log format using the $context variables, Context Variables
Ex Log:
{ "requestId":"QWRHQKWFHWAFZ=",
"routeKey":"ANY /services/misc/myroute/{proxy+}",
"path":"/services/misc/myroute/v1/swagger.json",
"domain":"hello.stackoverflow.com",
"domain_prefix":"hello",
"httpMethod":"GET", "status":"404","protocol":"HTTP/1.1", "endpoint":-" }
One final check I have done to make sure its completing its "route" was see the requests in the monitoring and seeing the 4xx come from this ALB listener.
I can send the request via localhost and get a response with the json body
GET https://localhost:8080/v1/swagger.json --> Status 200 OK with body filled
In my quest to solve the issue, it has lead me to many older (2019) stack overflow questions that seem to be outdated with the AWS Console, same with the AWS documentation. See links below...

With this being my first project in the AWS cloud space, I am not sure where else to turn. My guess would be the authentication headers from the API Gateway are being lost, but not sure where I can see this loss happening.
From my understanding of how the AWS Request Flow goes, I created this diagram:
