Cloudflare not seeing my nameserver records updated

[daniel94]

What is the name of the domain?

edtrucking.com

What is the error number?

Invalid Nameservers

What is the issue you’re encountering

I’m trying to move my domains entirely over to Cloudflare out of AWS Route53, however I am struggling getting Nameservers/DNS migrated over first

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

1. Updated Route53 NS records to my assigned Cloudflare NS (tara.ns.cloudflare.com & vicky.ns.cloudflare.com)
2. Waited many days forRoute53 TTL to expire
3. Using DNS Checker, other DNS providers showing Cloudflare DNS being used (DNS Lookup - Check All DNS Records for Any Domain)
4. Cloudflare portal is not showing they have been updated yet, thus preventing me from finishing domain port

What feature, service or problem is this related to?

DNS not responding/updating

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

Message in portal not seeing Nameserver records were updated. Ongoing for about a week or so

Invalid Nameservers

You have created NS records instead of changing your nameservers, see here:

edtrucking.com.         172800  IN      NS      ns-689.awsdns-22.net.
edtrucking.com.         172800  IN      NS      ns-278.awsdns-34.com.
edtrucking.com.         172800  IN      NS      ns-1078.awsdns-06.org.

You need to change the nameservers at your registrar instead.
