Move the following two includes in your server(vhost) conf files to the top.

include /etc/nginx/bots.d/ddos.conf; include /etc/nginx/bots.d/blockbots.conf;

like this:

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

includes for ubbb

  include /etc/nginx/bots.d/ddos.conf;
  include /etc/nginx/bots.d/blockbots.conf;
 # rest of config below

}
