Rotue 53 hosted zone not working at all after 5 days post transfer

Question

Transfered playoffpredictor.com from register.com to AWS. DNS records are correct in AWS. However the top level DNS servers (g.gtld-servers.net) are still pointing to register.com DNS records, which are of course refused. This domain transfer happened 5 full days ago, so the 48 hour wait thing is long gone to clear out old DNS caches. Please help! DIG output below:

Answer

According internet testers, your domain registration have still old information about name servers, if you are testing for example with this: https://intodns.com/playoffpredictor.com  
  
Perhaps you transferred domain registration and name servers together and didn't update name servers? You have to go to registration details in https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/home#DomainDetail:playoffpredictor.com and update name servers to those 4, which you can read from NS entry from your hosted zone for domain.

Answer

Thank you!  I knew what to do but could not find that link in the aws console.  I was looking in hosted zones, not registered domains.
