nginx Django Admin JS static files 404 error

Question

I am almost done building my website but while creating an autogenerating slug in Django admin, I found it to be unresponsive. When i looked at the console of my browser i see a lot of JS error warnings. The nginx is correctly sending the css files, but there seems to be issues with respect to some admin js files. It is unable to read files in the admin/js/vendor/* . Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
