Http to Https redirection issues on nginx; stuck in a redirect loop to same page

As I’m normally used to apache and htaccess settings, I’m having some trouble setting up a http to https redirection for a simple wordpress site. I have poured over the forums and there are several examples of how to accomplish this, but none seems to be working.

What happens is, once I apply the redirects, it correctly redirects to https but then begins looping indefinitely. Access log looks like this until I stop

SSL itself is working, and right now I can open the site both on http and https. It’s just when I attempt to close off http access that everything blows up.

Here’s an example of a simple nginx code for this domain that causes the issue. I have tried several variations found within the forum and the issue persists.

server {
    listen      80;
    server_name domain.com www.domain.com;
    return 302 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

server {
	listen 443;

	root /var/www/domain.com;
	index index.php index.html index.htm;

	server_name domain.com www.domain.com;

	location / {
		# First attempt to serve request as file, then
		# as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
		# try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
		try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
	}

	error_page 404 /404.html;
	error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
	location = /50x.html {
		root /usr/share/nginx/html;
	}

	location ~ \.php$ {
		include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;

		# This website needs to run on php5
		fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
		#fastcgi_pass unix:/run/hhvm/hhvm.sock;
	}

	# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
	# concurs with nginx's one
	location ~ /\.ht {
		deny all;
	}

	# Image cache control
	location ~* .(ogg|ogv|svg|svgz|eot|otf|woff|mp4|ttf|css|rss|atom|js|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|zip|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|doc|xls|exe|ppt|tar|mid|midi|wav|bmp|rtf)$ {
		expires max;
		log_not_found off;
		access_log off;
	}
}

The default file (which, I assume, is also loaded, looks like this)

user www-data;
worker_processes auto;
pid /run/nginx.pid;

events {
	worker_connections 768;
	# multi_accept on;
}

	#first try to fix timeout smtp problems
