Django + nginx + gunicorn not being able to serve static files

I'm trying to deploy a django app in a EC2 instance but I'm currently having issues serving the static files of the app.

Currently, my nginx's conf file looks like this:

# Default server configuration
#
server {
        listen 80 default_server;
        listen [::]:80 default_server;

        root /var/www/html;

        # Add index.php to the list if you are using PHP
        index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

        server_name _;

        location / {
                proxy_set_header Host $host;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                proxy_pass http://0.0.0.0:8000;
        }


        location /static/ {
                #autoindex on;
                root /home/ubuntu/some/folder/static/;
        }
}

Also in my settings.py file in my django project I have the following config related to my static files:

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = '/home/ubuntu/some/folder/static/'

and Gunicorn, I'm launching it as the following:

gunicorn3 --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 myproject.wsgi:application

And with that, if I access http://ec2-my-instance:8000 I see the html content, but all my js and css files get error 404.

I'm kinda lost and I don't know what I'm missing to make it works, I already migrated the static content and I checked the folder which nginx is looking for the static files have them, but if I check the browser's console I see this kind of errors:

GET http://ec2-my-instance:8000/static/somefile.js net::ERR_ABORTED 404 (Not Found)
