Have you copied all your static files into STATIC_ROOT ??

I have been on it for hours and have tried changing and tweaking
STATIC_ROOT and STATICFILES_DIR

I have attached 3 images, the apache file, and the difference between
the dev and the production screenshot.

STATIC_ROOT has nothing to do with apps, it is where the files are
copied to (by django) and served from (by your webserver).

Assuming staticfiles works for you in development, there are very few
things that you can do wrong, so (in turn):

Have you run collectstatic to copy files from your static folders
(application static folders and folders listed in STATICFILES_DIRS) to
your STATIC_ROOT?

Have you configured your webserver to serve files in the folder
indicated by STATIC_ROOT at the URL indicated by STATIC_URL?

Cheers

Tom
