Your backend server will not know how to handle the routes on your client or know the location of your "client" folder, if you have a dist folder you would need to do something similar to this:

if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
  app.use(express.static('dist'));
  const path = require('path');
  app.get('*', (req, res) => {
  res.sendFile(path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist', 'index.html'));
 });
}

Hope this helps.
