MERN app cannot find vendor.js and other files in the .dist folder if site is a subdomain.

Hi, so we are trying to move our very basic MERN based app to production and things run fine locally but when running in production, we are having the following issue.

Basically, we have 2 node.js apps running on the same box. One running on https://xyz.com and the MERN app running on https://xyz.com/app2

When I open https://xyz.com/app2 after running in prod mode, it can't seem to find vendor.js and other .css and .js files.

We tried changing the public path in the output section of the webpack file to "/app2" instead of just "/" ( minus the quotes ) but that did not help either. Any guidance would be helpful.
