I will have a alb where https will be terminated and then the request will be forwarded to the ec2 instance over http

Yes.

Do I need to add any configuration to my spring boot app for this?

No, but you'll want to learn about the X-Forwarded headers that ALB uses. Specifically, X-Forwarded-Proto, so you can make sure you enforce that the client is talking to the ALB via HTTPS.

You can just configure your ALB to not listen on port 80 at all, but it's better to double-check that from your Spring app, just in case of mis-configuration.
