I'm not having issues. When I check your domain with this tool:
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=capitolcityonline.net
it reports that you have a Certificate name mismatch, clicking ignore/continue it then reports that it's self-signed.
If I try https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=capcity2.synchro.net it also reports a self-signed cert. So it definitely seems like the certificate being sent out doesn't match your letsyncrypt.cfg.
One thing you can do is disable self-signed cert generation by setting SCFG->System->Security->Create Self-signed Certificate to "No".
