Azure issue unresponsive pings on port 8080

I created an app with a react front end and go back end. I was able to store the go backend in a docker container and then deploy it to azure and create a web app for it. The backend is working successfully when i make requests on postman. The issue I’m having is when i try connecting my frontend code through my github repo, it is saying that the container didn’t respond to pings on port 8080. I’ve been searching google and asking chatgpt for solutions for the past two days with no luck. I’ve made 100’s of different modifications to my package.json for a fix. Here is my current package.json scripts section:

"scripts": {
    "start": "serve -s build -l $PORT",
    "build": "react-scripts build",
    "test": "react-scripts test --passWithNoTests",
    "eject": "react-scripts eject"
  },

It’s working locally but just won’t work when i attempt to deploy at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
