Angular v17 SSR with SSG keeps redirecting 301

Question

When I go to my web app and click on one of the routerLink, the server runs a .js module to display the content. When I refresh that exact page (which is pre-rendered) I get a 301 error.

url/cases, 301, location: url/cases/

I get a 200 code on url/cases/ after

.htacces

<IfModule Litespeed>
    RewriteEngine On

    # Redirect www to non-www and HTTP to HTTPS
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

    # Existing rules for handling files and serving index.html
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
    RewriteRule ^(.*) /index.html [NC,L]

server.ts

import 'zone.js/node';

import { APP_BASE_HREF } from '@angular/common';
import { CommonEngine } from '@angular/ssr';
import * as express from 'express';
import { existsSync } from 'node:fs';
import { join } from 'node:path';
import AppServerModule from './src/main.server';

// The Express app is exported so that it can be used by serverless Functions.
export function app(): express.Express {
  const server = express();
  const distFolder = join(process.cwd(), '../browser');
  const indexHtml = existsSync(join(distFolder, 'index.original.html'))
    ? join(distFolder, 'index.original.html')
    : join(distFolder, 'index.html');

  const commonEngine = new CommonEngine();

  server.set('view engine', 'html');
  server.set('views', distFolder);

  // Example Express Rest API endpoints

  // All regular routes use the Angular engine
  server.get('*', (req, res, next) => {
    const { protocol, originalUrl, baseUrl, headers } = req;

    const requestedPath = `${distFolder}${originalUrl}`;

    // Check if the requested path corresponds to an existing file
    if (existsSync(requestedPath)) {

      .then((html) => res.send(html))

  });

  return server;

my routes:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';

const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: '',
    loadChildren: () =>
      import('./pages/home/home.module').then((m) => m.HomeModule),
  },
  {
    path: 'over-ons',
    loadChildren: () =>
      import('./pages/over-ons/over-ons.module').then((m) => m.OverOnsModule),
  },
  {
    path: 'contact',
    loadChildren: () =>
      import('./pages/contact/contact.module').then((m) => m.ContactModule),
  },
  {
    path: 'expertises',
    loadChildren: () =>
      import('./pages/expertises/expertises.module').then((m) => m.ExpertisesModule),
  },
  {
    path: 'expertises/:slug',
    loadChildren: () =>
      import(
        './pages/expertises/expertise-detail/expertise-detail.module'
      ).then((m) => m.ExpertiseDetailModule),
  },
  {
    path: 'cases',
    loadChildren: () =>
      import('./pages/cases/cases.module').then((m) => m.CasesModule),
  },
  {
    path: 'cases/:slug',
    loadChildren: () =>
      import('./pages/cases/case-detail/case-detail.module').then(
        (m) => m.CaseDetailModule
      ),
  },
  {
    path: 'blogs',
    loadChildren: () =>
      import('./pages/blogs/blogs.module').then((m) => m.BlogsModule),
  },
  {
    path: 'blogs/:slug',
    loadChildren: () =>
      import('./pages/blogs/blog-detail/blog-detail.module').then(
        (m) => m.BlogDetailModule
      ),
  },
];

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    RouterModule.forRoot(routes, {
      scrollPositionRestoration: 'enabled',
      anchorScrolling: 'enabled',
      scrollOffset: [0, 150]
    }),
  ],
  exports: [RouterModule],
})
export class AppRoutingModule {}

I tried a few methods like changing the server.ts by adding a redirect: false and adjusting my routing to have ./ at the end. I also tried modifying my .htaccess but I couldn't get it to work.

I'm trying to fix it so I can improve my SEO.
