404 is file not exist.
Maybe your rewrite is not enabled in Vhost level.

I had a similar problem, where .htaccess rules would work only for some directories.
By comparing them, I figured out that I need to set an empty Rewrite Context in Virtual host for each directory that contains a .htaccess file.
So in your case, you can try to create an empty context with URI website_path/backend/, save it and reload the litespeed server.

It took me a lot of time to figure this one out
