How to enable tls 1.3 on Laravel Forge?

I want to add tls 1.3 support to server using Laravel Forge. I though it would be as easy as adding:

ssl_protocols TLSv1.3;

However when I use an SSL check to see which protocols are being used it is still showing the older protocols. I have restarted nginx and server after updates.

Has anyone applied TLSv1.3 in Laravel Forge before? Do the Ciphers need to be adjusted also? The server in question is running Openssl version 1.1.1 which should be suitable.

Thanks.

Ok so it does work, but I am running the servers behind an AWS load balancer and they do not support TLSv1.3. Checking each server individually does actually work as expected.
