I issued an SSL certificate via AWS Certificate Manager. Now I need to point my Neo4J database to that certificate (this is by inner design of this graph database, which accesses the server via bolt).

Before, when I issued them using Let's Encrypt, I'd simply locate them on the server's harddrive and direct Neo4J to them as described in this article by Neo4j: https://medium.com/neo4j/getting-certificates-for-neo4j-with-letsencrypt-a8d05c415bbd

However, if I prefer to have a certificate issued by AWS, how do I locate them on my EC2 instance? Where are they located, so I direct Neo4J to them? Or are they not on the server at all? In this case, is there any way to fix this problem?

You cannot use certs provisioned by AWS ACM on the server because ACM manages the private key. You can either terminate SSL on the load balancer, or get one from a provider on your server. You can have a secure connection w/ SSL terminating on the ELB. I'm not sure about how to use it with Neo4j.
