Hosting on digitalocean App and cannot get Server and Client to both work together

Stack:
Strapi server w/typescript, FE React app, using digital ocean to host on App platform.

Problem:
When i set the ‘HTTP Request Routes’ for the server to ‘/api’ and then ‘/’ for my Front end, i get a 404 when going to /admin page, and the /api url is a broken logo_login.png 404.

If i switch these around and put the server as ‘/’ and the frontend (static) as ‘/app’, I am able to access /admin and login! But the bad thing is my FE app does not load at url ‘/app’.

Question:
How can i get these both (FE and BE) to worth together, where my admin panel and api are located at www.domain.com/api and then my frontend is located at www.domain.com/.

Thank you for any help / ideas on the matter!
