Ok, so your problem is likely due to "return 206" added. Just
remove it, as well as other garbage from your config you don't
understand. It's really good idea to read the documentation to
make sure you understand what you are writing into your config
instead of blindly following "tutorials online".
I very much doubt there is any tutorial which suggests to use
"return 206" though, as it's always wrong.

Again: you shouldn't do anything. If range requests are
supported, the header will be added automatically.

See above, mostly likely it's caused by "return 206" in your
config.
