.htaccess http to https not working

despite searching for previous answers, I couldn't see one which addresses my issue, so hope someone can help?

I recently redirected an old html company site to a new wordpress site with .htaccess rules (obvs different domain)

however, shortly afterwards I updated the new domain with an ssl cert. The old site was just a regular http:

I changed the .htaccess rules for the https: but obvs I have done it incorrectly as the redirect does not work.

this is what I am using.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^old-domain.co.uk$ [OR]
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =www.old-domain.co.uk
RewriteRule (.*) https://newdomain.com$1 [R=302,L]
</IfModule>

what do I need to change to have it redirect correctly?

thanks for your assistance.

I prefer this variant for redirecting from http to https

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Also there are a lot of plugins for wordpress that help with that. They also help with redirecting all request to resources (images etc) to https

It works for me.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://newdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
