Cant access deployed HTML/js files in Azure Web App

im very new to Azure so apologise if this is a stupid question.

Can I manually deploy a html and vanilla js project to Azure Web App? (Not Azure Static Web App)?

I have built my files and deployed to a Web App (App Service) that I created via VS Code Azure App Service plugin. On inspection of the directory via the SSH option in my Web App, I can see that all my files have been deployed to /home/site/wwwroot/ which is what I would expect. However when accessing my app URL I get presented with the default “Your web app is running and waiting for your content” page… I also cant access my html files via /index.html as I get “Cannot GET /index.html”.

My web app is set up for code deployment with a Node.js runtime, can I not deploy static html files to this app?
