Nginx domain points to wrong dir

I have two www directories in my nginx server. Directory 1 and directory 2.

Domain 1 one is configured to point to directory 1 and works as expected.

Domain2 is configured to point to directory 2, but instead points to directory 1.

Domain 1 -> Directory 1

server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    listen [::]:80 default_server;

    root /var/www/sarasaworks.com/html;

    index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

    server_name sarasaworks.com www.sarasaworks.com;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }

Domain 2 -> Directory 2

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    root /var/www/snapdragonwellness.org/html;

    index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

    server_name snapdragonwellness.org www.snapdragonwellness.org snapdragonwellness.com www.snapdragonwellness.com;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }

Every thing looks exactly as it should, so I'm not quite sure what I should do to fix it...

Both directories have a dummy html file with unique hello world-like phrases to let me know everything works.

Have you checked for a default server?
grep default_server /etc/nginx/ -r -C 3
maybe there is a catchall server block like 

server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    listen [::]:80 default_server;
    root /var/www/sarasaworks.com/html;
    server_name _;
}

If the 2 server blocks are in different files each of these files need to be linked to from /etc/nginx/sites-enabled

you can check that with ls /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

Another thing I would try is running sudo nginx -t to see if there are any errors in the configurations.

Good start to troubleshoot those problems is also to run sudo tail -f /var/log/access.log or sudo tail -f /var/log/error.log/ to see what's going on. While this is running you can reload/try to access the URL and see the logs.

More details on the errors can help us help you.
