Custom Domain Not becoming active

I have a page that is being deployed to a gm-docs.pages.dev. I’ve added a custom domain to this (subdomain from external dns). This worked while i was testing it but i have since changed the custom domain. I added this new subdomain as a CNAME entry to route53 however im continually getting an Inactive (Requires DNS setup) status.

The *.pages.dev is working as expected
The dns looks like its set up correctly:

I emailed trust and safety team (following this post)[Need help. Pages + Custom Domain Inactive (Error)] and they have verified that our host has no restrictions.

What’s your domain?

cf-docs-preview.greymatter.io

Your CAA currently covers DigiCert and Let’s Encrypt, the cert is trying to provision with Google Trust Services.

$ dig CAA greymatter.io
