You’ll want to make sure that you’ve setup a redirect for the www variant of your domain.

For example, if your domain is example.com, we’d use something such as:

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name www.example.com;

    return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name example.com;

    ....
    ....
    ....
    ....
}

The first server block handles the redirection from www to your base domain. The second server block is where you main configuration would be.

    www.example.com ends up in a google search now rather than attempting to redirect. However example dot com is now naked. So fixed one thing but broke another.

    server {
        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;
        server_name www.example.com;

        return 301 http://$host$request_uri;
}

server {
        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;

        root /var/www/example.com/html;

        index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

        server_name example.com;

        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
        }
}

      http://$host$request_uri;

      doesn’t work, i had to use 

      return 301 http://example.com

      Because right now, your suggested change results in The page isn’t redirecting properly
