The issue was the target port I was using on the load balancer not matching the port the redirection server was listening on:

ports:
  - name: http
    port: 80
    protocol: TCP
    targetPort: http

This was just sending everything to port 80. It should have been this:

ports:

    port: 80
    protocol: TCP
    targetPort: 8080

That way it matches up with the ConfigMap's:

  http-snippet: |
    server {
      listen 8080 proxy_protocol;
      server_tokens off;
      return 307 https://$host$request_uri;
    }
