MODX Revolution 2.4.0-pl

Hi Guys how can I alter the code at https://docs.modx.com/revolution/2.x/getting-started/installation/basic-installation/nginx-server-config
...to redirect from example.com to www.example.com

The code:

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name example.com www.example.com;
        root /home/sites/example.com;
        index index.php;
        client_max_body_size 30M;
        location / {
                root /home/sites/example.com;
                if (!-e $request_filename) {
                        rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
                }
        }
        location ~ \.php$ {
                try_files $uri =404;
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;
                fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
                fastcgi_index  index.php;
                fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                include fastcgi_params;
                fastcgi_ignore_client_abort on;
                fastcgi_param  SERVER_NAME $http_host;
        }
 
        location ~ /\.ht {
                deny  all;
        }
}

I've tried adding:

if ($host = "example.com") {
    rewrite ^ $scheme://www.example.com$request_uri permanent;
}
location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ @modx-rewrite;
}

...from https://support.modx.com/hc/en-us/articles/217295387-Nginx-Web-Rules-Rewrites ...but no luck as I get the error "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS" in Chrome.

and also tried

 return 301 $scheme://www.example.com$request_uri;

...from https://www.nginx.com/blog/creating-nginx-rewrite-rules/ ...but no luck as I get the error "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS" in Chrome.

Any ideas please?

Thanks

Ok so I can get example.com to go to www.example.com but now how do I get example.com/test redirect to www.example.com/test

# 

server {
	listen 80 default_server;
	listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;

	root /var/www/example.com/html;
	index index.php index.html index.htm;

	
	server_name example.com;

	 client_max_body_size 30M;
        location / {
                root /var/www/example.com/html;
                if (!-e $request_filename) {
                        rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
                 }
                if ($host = "example.com") {
               rewrite ^ $scheme://www.example.com$request_uri permanent;
                 }
              try_files $uri $uri/ @modx-rewrite;
           }
        location ~ \.php$ {
                try_files $uri =404;
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock; 
                fastcgi_index  index.php;
                fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                include fastcgi_params;
                fastcgi_ignore_client_abort on;
                fastcgi_param  SERVER_NAME $http_host;
        }
 
        location ~ /\.ht {
                deny  all;
        }

	listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;

	root /var/www/example.com/html;
	index index.php index.html index.htm;

	# Make site accessible from http://localhost/
	server_name example.com www.example.com;

	 client_max_body_size 30M;
        location / {
                root /var/www/example.com/html;
                if ($host = "example.com") {
               rewrite ^ $scheme://www.example.com$request_uri permanent;
                 }
                if (!-e $request_filename) {
                        rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
                 }
                 try_files $uri $uri/ @modx-rewrite;
                 }

        location ~ \.php$ {
                try_files $uri =404;
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock; 
                fastcgi_index  index.php;
                fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

                fastcgi_ignore_client_abort on;
