Updating an httpd server on Amazon Linux 2 for TLSv1.3?

I've got an Apache httpd server running on Amazon Linux 2. I've just 
updated it to 2.4.66.

An SSLLabs scan tells me I don't have TLSv1.3 enabled. And a Google 
search told me to add "+TLSv1.3" to the SSLProtocol line in ssl.conf.

When I tried that, the server crashed on takeoff. The same Google result 
said I needed openssl 1.1.1 or later. When I did "openssl version," I 
got "OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips  26 Jan 2017," and after I did a yum update 
openssl, I still got "OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips  26 Jan 2017."

Amazon tells me that if I want openssl 1.1, I need to install it 
separately. And when I did a Google search on how to switch httpd over 
to a separately installed openssl 1.1, everything I got said "compile 
from source."

How on Earth would I do that, without having any development tools on 
the instance?

Can somebody point me to a path-of-least-resistance?
