What is the issue you’re encountering

I am using Cloudflare Free Plan for my domain fasttoolswow.com. In external DNS health checks, I am getting errors related to the SOA record: - SOA Expire Value is out of recommended range - SOA Serial Number Format is Invalid Since I am on the free plan, I cannot contact Cloudflare support. How can I fix these SOA record issues?

What feature, service or problem is this related to?

SOA Expire Value is out of recommended range

Not adhering to a recommendation does not imply an error, and this will not impact your site’s functionality or performance in any way. Just ignore it.

Why Does DNSSTUFF.COM Report SOA and MX fails on our Domain?

These warnings can be safety ignored. Our serial number format is different than the format used by BIND which is the most popular DNS server, but it doesn’t impact anything as we don’t replicate our DNS to other systems. And the recommended range for the SOA is just that… a recommendation. We’re aware of the recommendation but chose a different value. I’m not sure which query gave you DNS record not found. You don’t have DMARC record and hostly probably don’t want or need one.
