Troubleshoting HTTPS on Elastic Beanstalk

Question

I used to have HTTPS working on my Beanstalk environment but in the attempt of allowing access to another service I messed up something and I can't get it working again. ATM my configuration is:

Elastic Beanstalk
* An active listener on port 443 with the appropriate certificate
* A process on port 80, Health check path: /

EC2 and Security groups:
* One security group allowing inbound from 443, 80 and 27017
* Outbound all ports all IPs

What I think I messed up:
How to determine the correct origin for the security groups?

Also, is there anything wrong on this setup? I read many guides, I am not going to terminate the https connections like explained in this guide
https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/elastic-beanstalk-https-configuration/
simply because I haven't done it before and it was working. Do I really need it?

thanks

Yes I opened port 80/443/27017 on a security group that I attached to the instances, not sure where else they need to be opened?

Do I need a security group for the load balancer and a separate one for the instances?

Can you clarify this point please?

So you have opened up access in the security group for your load balancer on port 80/443/27017, have you also made sure that this security group has been added to the security group on the instances running your beanstalk application?
