Research direction

Start with /etc/nginx/modsec/modsecurity.conf and the SecAuditLogType and SecAuditLog directives. Compare the configured logfile with the generated modsec_audit.log-YYYYMMDD files, then reproduce the behavior in an Nginx ModSecurity setup. Done means the cause and a confirmed configuration or implementation fix are documented.
