route not found in development server?

so the development server is a digital ocean droplet, laravel 5.3 with php7.1 - using dingo/api with prettus/repository

The problem is I have a route at POST /clients/sessions/{id} it doesnt seem to be working in development server. its working locally & live (local & development are using SAME branches) i have done

cache:clear
config:clear
composer install
composer update

and if i run dingos api:routes artisan command i can see that listed. theres another post route that is not being run either (those are the only TWO routes not working, delete & GET are working)

the route is listed as

        $api->post('clients/sessions/{id}','ClientSessionController@create');
        $api->delete('clients/sessions/{id}','ClientSessionController@destroy');

delete is working fine with post i am getting
