VirtualHost config causing 301 redirect loop - apache

Question

I am trying to setup a virtual server to host multiple websites,
each site's content is in /var/www/html/site.com/public_html.
There have a VirtualHost config for each site under /etc/apache2/sites-available/site.com.conf as seen here:
/etc/apache2/sites-available/site1.com.conf:
<VirtualHost *:443>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/site1.com/public_html
ServerName site1.com
<Directory /var/www/html/site1.com/public_html/>
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/site1.com/public_html
serverName site1.com
<Directory /var/www/html/site1.com/public_html/>
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
All this config is needing to do is direct the incoming domain request to its root directory, nothing else. however the moment I apply apply this config file it will cause a 301 redirect loop.
As you can see I have disabled AllowOverride to avoid interference from .htaccess to eliminate that variable, by enabling AllowOverride to all it also results in a redirect loop with no change in behaviour. In case needed hear is the httpd.conf file that's not getting applied:
.htaccess:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
I have also tried completely removing the .htaccess file to eliminate that variable and it still resulted in a redirect loop.
Additionally if I where to manually change the URL to point to a file in the site like /index.php or /wp-admin/ it will result in a 302 redirect loop to that same file or folder.
index.php also does not refer back to itself but rather starts the wordpress program, and php.ini also does not have any redirect config.
I cannot find where the redirects may be happening, some guidance on potential faults in the current config of what other files may be causing redirects would be much appreciated.
