SSL_do_handshake() failed

Questions

I have this problem that looks like it comes from Nginx.
This is the Kong log:

SSL_do_handshake() failed (SSL: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number) while SSL handshaking to upstream

The cause of this error comes from the set_target function inside a plugin but I don’t know why
kong.service.set_target(IP,PORT)

The strangest is that the server receives this:
