How to enable PUT and DELETE method on nginx? - nginx

Question

I have this website which i reverse proxied using nginx,
My website has CRUD operations so it uses HTTP PUT and DELETE methods to update and delete records!
I found out that using --http_dav_module solves the issue,
so i added following code into my nginx.conf file,
server {
server_name autoattendance.ml www.autoattendance.ml;
location / {
dav_methods PUT DELETE;
proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
but it did not solve the issue,
these request are working fine on my local machine but not on the server!
The console error that i am getting is:
