Edit the /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf file and add the directives there. You need to wrap your .htaccess stuff in a <Directory> directive and that will be in turn inside the <VirtualHost> directive.

Restart Apache afterwards
1sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache
Bitnami has rewrite module mod_rewrite enabled by default on all their stacks so you don’t really need the usual <IfModule> check.
mod_rewrite is enabled by making sure it’s loaded in Apache conf fileBitnami includes rewrite module for Apache in all their applications by default.
1cat /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/httpd.conf | grep 'mod_rewrite'
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
If the line has a # at the beginning then it means it is commented out and the module is not being loaded. Edit the file with nano adn remove the # at the beginning of the line.
Make sure that the AllowOverride All and Options FollowSymLinks directives are there. They are required for pretty permalinks to work.
Make sure you have restarted Apache
1sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache
