NGINX, Websockets, Multiple Instances and ELB w/ Stickiness

All,

I'm having troubles with a websocket "push" to one instance being transmitted to other instances on an Elastic Load Balancer. I have 2 instances, and I'm testing on 2 clients. When Client A adds a new record to the database, a graphQL subscription is triggered to send that record to all devices subscribed. Client B isn't getting the data sent to it. However, when both clients end up on the same instance, they do receive updates (as expected). I've tried configuring the custom conf various ways, and to no avail. There can be anywhere to over 2000 clients, and they'll need to have the same updates being dispatched to them. This used to work flawlessly with one instance. Below is the content of the custom.conf.

I appreciate your time and help in the matter, thanks!
