ASP.Net Core spa pre-rendering with angular universal works locally but not on server – Plesk

I’m trying to set up angular universal on angular7 with asp.net core 2.1. The prerendering works perfectly on a local build but does not add code to the page source on a server in production with no errors or logs.

Due to the lack of logs I suspect this is because the server module is not loaded/ started but I have no idea why. Is this something that should be added into the web config?

I am using a windows shared plesk server which supports node.js and IIS Node. Here is a snippet from my Startup.cs

app.UseSpa(spa =>
{
    spa.Options.StartupTimeout = new System.TimeSpan(0, 0, 1000);
    spa.Options.SourcePath = "ClientApp";

    spa.UseSpaPrerendering(options =>
    {
        options.BootModulePath = $"{spa.Options.SourcePath}/dist-server/main.js";
        options.BootModuleBuilder = env.IsDevelopment() ? new 
        AngularCliBuilder(npmScript: "build:ssr") : null;
        options.ExcludeUrls = new[] { "/sockjs-node" };
    });

    if (env.IsDevelopment())
    {
        spa.UseAngularCliServer(npmScript: "start");
    }
});
