ProxyPass not overriding .htaccess mod_rewrite - apache

Question

We have an angular app with an apache server which uses .htaccess to rewrite requests to /index.html using
RewriteRule . /index.html [L]
But for a few paths, we want to use /whatever to route to a different domain. However, adding
ProxyPass /whatever whatever.site.com
to sites-enabled doesn't seem to override the .htaccess.
That full file looks like
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www
ProxyPass /whatever https://whatever.com
ProxyPassReverse /whatever https://whatever.com
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
Any suggestions?
Also, I know for sure that the sites-enabled file above is being used because if I put garbage-text into it the site crashes ;)

Your quoted virtualhost is probably not used for your test request, because proxy would always bypass mod_rewrite rules specified in .htaccess.
Maybe apachectl -S would give you a hint about which vhosts are present / being used. I see this vhost has no ServerName, so unless it's the first or only *:80 it will probably never be used.
