You need to provide the full path to the files. If they're in your laravel application folder then you can use the base_path method to generate the full poth. You may also need to define the cert and ca.

'options' => [
    PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_KEY => base_path('ssl/client-key.pem'),
    PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CERT => base_path('ssl/client-cert.pem'),
    PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA => base_path('ssl/ca-cert.pem')
]
