Both

listen 443 ssl http2 reuseport;

and

listen 443 ssl http2 backlog=4095;

specify listening socket options, "reuseport" and "backlog=4095".
Socket options are only allowed to be specified once for a given
listening socket, and nginx complains as you try to specify time
twice. You have to specify both on a single "listen" directive.

That's exactly how it is expected to work.
