Nextcloud (Apache + uwsgi) - 404 errors - mod_proxy_uwsgi call issues?

Hello-
I've followed the Arch Nextcloud wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Nextcloud)  best I could, and after overcoming several obstacles and typos have been stuck for a long time trying to troubleshoot the following problem.

Apache is up and running, https works.  Nextcloud is to hosted out of a folder (rather than a subdomain).
uwsgi instance is up and running, and receiving requests on its socket via the nextcloud alias in apache httpd.conf.
Nextcloud data dir and doc root are in the default locations (/var/lib/nextcloud/data and /usr/share/webapps/nextcloud)
These are defined in the uwsgi nextcloud ini file:

[dylan@storage01 uwsgi]$ grep -e cloud_data_dir -e php-docroot nextcloud.ini | grep -v \#
cloud_data_dir = /var/lib/nextcloud/data
chdir = %(cloud_data_dir)
php-docroot = /usr/share/webapps/%n
[dylan@storage01 uwsgi]$ 

I do NOT have php configured on apache server, as my understanding (right or wrong) is that I only need PHP enabled for uwsgi.

However any  requests I make receive 404 not found errors, including
https://mywebsite.net/nextcloud
https://myqebsite.net/nextcloud/
https://mywebsite.net/nextcloud/status.php

I'm suspicious it has to do with the SetHandler line within my apache config, as I can't find details on this syntax and the uwsgi syntax for requested path in its logs confuses me when comparing to docroot.

        SetHandler "proxy:unix:/run/uwsgi/nextcloud.sock|uwsgi://localhost/"

Thoughts?
Thank you--
