I tried everything I could do to enable TLS 1.3 for my sites, but I failed. Any help from community will be appreciated.
Here’s the SSL config file generated by certbot for my sites
#ssl_session_cache shared:le_nginx_SSL:10m;
ssl_session_timeout 1440m;
ssl_session_tickets off;
ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers off;
ssl_ciphers “ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA”;

I read somewhere that I should build and install nginx manually with the configuration flag enable-tls1_3 config. I did this. Here’s the output of the same

Tools I used to know whether TLS 1.3 is working or not -> testssl, ssllabls, and more
Did I disable SSL cache before testing? Yes, I did
