While trying to renew the certbot certificates we had from let's encrypt,

It seems since, we had a custom location for nginx on /opt/nginx somehow certbot was not smart emough to understand this.

The above command where we gave two custom parameters of --nginx-server-root and --nginx-ctl seemed to solve the problem.
