Api Gateway connection with Elastic Beanstalk (client-side SSL Certificate) - amazon-web-services

Question

I'm trying to connect Api Gateway with my api in Elastic Beanstalk. I want my api only accesible by Api Gateway and for this I use client-side SSL certificate authorization in backend (like this aws publication Link:http://docs.aws.amazon.com/es_es/apigateway/latest/developerguide/getting-started-client-side-ssl-authentication.html). So my arquitecture is like this:
API GATEWAY->ELASTIC LOAD BALANCER->EC2 (ELASTIC BEANSTALK)
My EC2 machine have NGINX and Ruby.
The connections work like this:
API GATEWAY -> (80 PORT) -> ELASTIC LOAD BALANCER -> (443 PORT) -> NGINX -> RUBY
I am doing the client auth in NGINX.
When I access the Elastic Load Balancer using a browser, it shows 400 Bad Request - NGINX error: No required SSL certificate was sent (this is correct because I'm not sending the certificate). But when I access using Api Gateway and sending the client certificate I get the same error (I don't understand why).
When I configure the SSL connection in NGINX, I'm using SSL certificates signed by me (maybe this is the problem?)
Other posible cause for my problem is the port configuration in Elastic Load Balancer (in the picture). I have Backend Authentication: Disabled. Is this a problem?

Amazon API Gateway does not support self-signed certificates for integration endpoints. Have you tried using a certificate from Amazon Certificate Manager or Let's Encrypt?
