SO 2.4.60 on ESXI - Login page missing with 403 forbidden error #13396

Are there any network devices between the browser machine and Security Onion manager that might be interfering with the network traffic? Do you have any browser plugins installed that may be interfering? Have you tried an incognito browser window? Have you tried Google Chrome or other chromium-based browser? Have you checked other logs in /opt/so/log/soc/ for additional clues? 2.4.60 is a few months old, have you tried a more recent version like 2.4.80? |

Detail
I've been attempting to setup SecurityOnion 2.4.60 hosted on an ESXI server. I am installing from an ISO in our datastore. The machine is setup with plenty memory, cores, and space and both NICS are E1000. The subsequent port group that the SO instance is connected to has MAC changes and promiscuous mode enabled along with VLAN trunking set to 0-4094.
I am setting up a manager node for a distributed installation. The SO instance is set to be air gapped. The IP of the SO instance is statically set to 192.168.2.50. The allowed IPs was set to be the subnet 192.168.2.0/24.
I am able to access the SO webpage from another Ubuntu machine on the same 192.168.2.0/24 network, however the webpage is missing the login boxes. Sometimes a Forbidden 403 banner will pop up other times it won't.


I have attempted to use different browsers and OSs, which have not worked, and I have also tried to designate a single allowed IP during configuration which has also not worked.
Funnily enough when I installed a version of SO 2.3.22 with practically the same configuration I was able to access the webpage without issue, however with this current version I am unable to see the login page.
nginx had the following in error.logs, but the timing is unrelated to the login attempt times and I don't believe it is relevant.

In nginx's access.logs I didn't find anything interesting. I am unable to copy paste out of the environment unfortunately, so screenshots will have to suffice.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I can provide additional details as necessary.
