Hello,
you have to check your nginx configuration, 404 not found on wordpress mean the permalinks are not rewritten properly.

Your vhost should look like :
NGINX:
server {
        ## Your website name goes here.
        server_name domain.tld;
        ## Your only path reference.
        root /var/www/wordpress;
        ## This should be in your http block and if it is, it's not needed here.
        index index.php;

        location = /favicon.ico {
                log_not_found off;
                access_log off;
        }

        location = /robots.txt {
                allow all;
                log_not_found off;
                access_log off;
        }

        location / {
                # This is cool because no php is touched for static content.
                # include the "?$args" part so non-default permalinks doesn't break when using query string
                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
                #NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini
                include fastcgi.conf;
                fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
                fastcgi_pass php;
                fastcgi_buffers 16 16k;
                fastcgi_buffer_size 32k;
        }

        location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico)$ {
                expires max;
                log_not_found off;
        }
}
more configuration examples are available in the wordpress codex

Nice codes but I afraid of using Nginx because I have to use codes to control configurations or setups. Is there a way that using nginx without using more codes or only using clicks only?

Excepted with some control panels like Plesk, VestaCP or CentosWebPanel (and even with them you may have to edit nginx configuration manually) Nginx is exactly like Apache, when you want to add a domain, you have to create a vhost and to set the proper settings for your domain.
But there are command line tools like EasyEngine or Centminmod to create nginx vhost automatically and to reduce as much as possible manual configuration. Otherwise, you can also find easily some configuration generator for nginx like https://nginxconfig.io/

Is Plesk still requiring manually configure some parts with it to work websites. I am confusing this because I have Plesk and hosting websites on it but problems are solved by my providers, I only submit tickets.

For example, I used Apache, I need setup rewrite rules in .htaccess file but how for Plesk? can I do a same file with Plesk or how?

Plesk use Apache + Nginx to make static content loading faster (because Nginx do the job better than Apache) but also to support .htaccess because php-fpm is managed by Apache. So it provide better performance, without impacting your application compatibility.

But you can also use Nginx to managed php-fpm process, but Nginx will not read .htaccess and it require to set your rewrite rules in the section Apache & Nginx settings > additional directives for Nginx
