SSL .htaccess the right way?

I'm hosting my website on Cloudways. I noticed that when I use .htaccess below, response->statusText is always null and also redirect->back is always set to root domain instead of the previous domain.

I think this .htaccess is causing problems to my code. Can someone tell me how the correct .htaccess for Laravel should look like? Also forcing https and non-www??

Regards

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.eu [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.eu/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]


<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

    # Handle Authorization Header
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
    RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>
