Static files configuration in AWS not working

I currently have an multi-docker container application (nginx, postgres RDS, Django) running on Elastic BeanStalk and I am able to use it but the static files (CSS files and JS scripts) are not loaded. This is my current configuration:

nginx setup file

 user nginx;
 worker_processes 1;

 events {
   worker_connections 1024;
 }

http {
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
client_max_body_size 100M;

server {
    listen 80;
    charset utf-8;
    server_name mydashboard.com;

    access_log /dev/stdout;
    error_log /dev/stdout info;

    location /media/ {
        alias /var/www/media/;
    }

    location /static/ {
        alias /var/www/static/;
    }

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://web:8888; 
        proxy_set_header host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
    }
  }
}

.ebextensions (folder)

django.config (file)

 option_settings:
     "aws:elasticbeanstalk:application:environment":
 DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE: "mydashboard.settings"
    "ALLOWED_HOSTS": ".elasticbeanstalk.com"
 "aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:python":
     WSGIPath: mydashboard/mydashboard/wsgi.py
 "aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:python:staticfiles":
    "/static/": "www/static/"

settings.py

  STATIC_URL = '/static/'
  STATICFILES_DIRS = (os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'static'),)
  STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "..", "www", "static")
  STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage'
  MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

If I remove the folder .ebextensions folder and load the app, it will work without displaying the static files but if I add the folder with the django.conf file the app won't deploy and I will encounter the error: Invalid option specification (Namespace: 'aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:python:staticfiles', OptionName: '/static/'): Unknown configuration setting.

In one post I found (Serving static files in Django) it is mentioned that all staticfiles directives from .config files should be removed and under the Software Configuration I should configure the static files under the Static File section, however, this Static File section is not even displayed. What code am I missing for displaying the static files? Thanks in advance for your suggestions and answers.

  01_collectstatic:
    command: "source /var/app/venv/staging-LQM1lest/bin/activate && python manage.py collectstatic --noinput"
