HTTPS TLS Error: SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain

I am running Elastic Stack 6.4 (Single Node Elasticsearch and Single Node Kibana) on Windows Server 2008 R2.

I have generated a CSR and had it signed by my local CA. I have elasticsearch working with HTTPS TLS just fine. I am usiing the same cert for both elasticsearch and kibana since they reside on the same server. Kibana gives me the following error when trying to use HTTPS TLS:

Here is my kibana.yml config file:
server.port: 5601
server.host: "prodserver"
server.maxPayloadBytes: 1048576
elasticsearch.url: "https://prodserver:9200"
kibana.index: ".kibana"
kibana.defaultAppId: "home"
elasticsearch.username: "kibana"
elasticsearch.password: ""
server.ssl.enabled: true
server.ssl.certificate: E:\Elastic Stack\Kibana\config\certs\server.crt
server.ssl.key: E:\Elastic Stack\Kibana\config\certs\server.key
server.ssl.keyPassphrase: "

elasticsearch.pingTimeout: 1500
elasticsearch.requestTimeout: 30000
elasticsearch.requestHeadersWhitelist: [ authorization ]
elasticsearch.customHeaders: {}
elasticsearch.shardTimeout: 30000
elasticsearch.startupTimeout: 5000
elasticsearch.logQueries: false
logging.dest: stdout
logging.silent: false
logging.quiet: false
logging.verbose: true
ops.interval: 5000
i18n.defaultLocale: "en"
xpack.security.encryptionKey: "********************************"
xpack.security.sessionTimeout: 900000

Got it working... there was a blank line right before the " -----END CERTIFICATE-----" took it out and it works now without error
