Mine tweak was donw with location /ords/ and here goes:

<VirtualHost _default_:443>
    ....
   #various ssl cert and ports and servername stuff

        # Apex-Ords reverse proxy
        <Location "/ords/">
                ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:8888/ords/
                ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:8888/ords/
                ProxyPreserveHost On
                RequestHeader unset Origin
        </Location>
        <Location "/i/">
                ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:8888/i/
                ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:8888/i/
        </Location>
