There is a subdirectory in the nginx location code block, and the index.php in it reports 404.

background description

I want to put a project interface in the api.xxx.com domain name in the form of a subdirectory. For example, api.xxx.com/friends , this subdirectory is full of friends project interfaces.

my corresponding nginx configuration is as follows:
/ etc/nginx/conf.d/api.conf

server {
    server_name api.worldispoweredbymywife.top;
    root /var/www/api;

    location /friends/ {
        alias /var/www/api/friends/public/;
        index index.php;
        try_files $uri =404;
    }
    location ~ /friends/.+\.php$ {
        try_files $uri =404;
        fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/api/friends/public$fastcgi_script_name;
    }

    error_page 404 /404.html;
    location /404.html {
        root /usr/local/nginx/html/;
    }

    error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
    location =/50x.html {
        root /usr/local/nginx/html/;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
            try_files $uri =404;
            fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
            fastcgi_index  index.php;
            fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

    return 404; -sharp managed by Certbot


}

current problem

visiting https://api.worldispoweredbymywife.top/friends displays the 404 page that comes with nginx.
ps:
1. I put a index.html in / var/www/api/friends/public/ and then access
2 through https://api.worldispoweredbymywife.top/index.html. I commented out the two location of friends, which can be accessed directly through https://api.worldispoweredbymywife.top/friends/public/index.php.
