Django Rest deployment on CPanel

Question

I am working on Django Rest project and it's admin side is working fine and properly loading with their static files on local sever. I tried to deploy my project on CPanel where I setup my python setup application successfully but when I load Django admin side with live url link it only shows textfields without classes applied.

Live django endpoint from where django admin tries to load static files is like this:

https://example.com/api/static/admin/css/base.css

Where api is the Application url of my Python app that I setup on CPanel.

I also ran this command:

python manage.py collectstatic 

but still server is not able to locate the files.
