When you setup the certificate, did you specify both? If you do not pass both as options when creating the certificate, one will be valid and the other won’t.
When creating the certificate, you need to pass:
-d www.domain.com -d domain.com
as arguments.
You can delete the existing and simply recreate a new certificate by passing both instances of your domain and then restarting Apache/NGINX.
