I’m trying to publish a website through Bootstrap Studio. I bought the domain name from GoDaddy about a year ago. Just built the site. I changed the nameservers on godaddy.com to Cloudflare, and now I’m supposed to add a DNS record on Cloudflare.
This is what I’m supposed to do for Bootstrap.
This is how I tried to do it.
This is the error: “An A, AAAA, or CNAME record with that host already exists. (Code: 81053)”
I am a complete rookie at web hosting stuff. What am I supposed to do here? Which one do I delete/edit?

Below is an article suggesting what to look for and how to fix this issue:
Error
Follow the directions in this Community Tip if you’re on a FULL plan and you see the error “No A, AAAA or CNAME record found (Code: 81053)” on the DNS tab. See Community Tip - Fixing No A, AAAA or CNAME record found / ERR NAME NOT RESOLVED for information about adding other DNS records.
Background
A CNAME (Canonical Name) record forwards one domain or subdomain to another domain, does NOT provide an IP address. If you’re missing a CNAME record, on the DNS tab of the Cloudflare dashboard…
True, as Cloudflare from now on manages the DNS recrods for your domain name which you still renew yearly at GoDaddy.

how I tried to do it.
You did the correct step adding a CNAME record, but from the above screenshots I see you already have A zennydaye.com
.
Before adding the CNAME
pointed to bootstrapstudio you should remove the existing A zennydaye.com
pointed to the IP address.
Therefore, add the CNAME zennydaye.com
pointed to sites.bootstrapstudio.io
as you already tried to and it should work.
