nginx subdirectory - primary script unknown - nginx

Question

I'm trying to figure out why I keep receiving a file not found.
I have a directory with multiple directories within that contain php files in them. I'm not sure how to configure my conf file to execute these files.
I get the following in the error log.
*133 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Primary script unknown" while reading response header from upstream, client: 172.17.8.1, server: 172.17.8.101, request: "GET /design_files/tmpls/podcastSilk/L4_index.php HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/tmp/php-fpm.sock:", host: "172.17.8.101:8001"
The directory structure of the application is as follows
/tmplbuilder
/design_files
/tmpls
/Folder2
L4_index.php
/Folder1
L3_index.php
/public
index.php
Here is my nginx.conf file.

}
}
}
}
When I run return 200 $document_root$fastcgi_script_name. I get the appropriate path to the file in question. Is this the path nginx can't find? The permissions are 755 on the file.

Try matching the uri in regular expressions ($1) and then feed that as a script name to php-fpm.
location ~ ^(.*\.php)(.*)$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/$1;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
include fastcgi_params;
}
