I fixed the error by making a .htaccess file and just added this and nothing else:
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\?*$ index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]
SEO URL's are now working perfectly.
I also edited:

This is how i got it to work with CentosWebPanel please advise on improving this method if possible.
CWP server setup is Nginx & Apache. i renamed the nginx.conf in public_html to nginx.conf.txt or just remove it, this is just a method to get things to work and i am sure i will be editing this again soon, if i do update for improvements i will post here what i did or please advice, as CWP a lot of settings cause a not found error.
