Domain not resolving

Question

I set up static site hosting on S3 and pointed my A records to that bucket but after at least 5 hours the record hasn't propagated. When i dig my domain this is what I get:

; <<>> DiG 9.16.1-Ubuntu <<>> frequencyh.net
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 56875
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1

;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION:
; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 65494
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;frequencyh.net.			IN	A

;; WHEN: Mon Jun 29 19:00:02 EDT 2020
;; MSG SIZE  rcvd: 43

I previously attempted to put a CDN infront of the domain but removed it because of an access denied error even after setting up OAI. The test record seems to be fine, but I'm not sure how that could be.

Hi,  
  
Name servers appear in three places, and typically they should all be in synch:  
~ The name servers that Route 53 assigns to a hosted zone when you create it. These are the "master" name servers and cannot be changed. Name servers in the other locations usually match these.  
~ The name servers in the NS record in the hosted zone.  
~ The name servers that are associated with the domain registration. These are the name servers that control which DNS configuration is in use.  
  
For frequencyh.net, the "master" name servers match the name servers in the NS record, but the name servers in the domain registration are different.  
  
To fix that, do the following:  
1. Get the name servers that Route 53 assigned to the hosted zone when you created it. See "Getting the Name Servers for a Public Hosted Zone" in the _Route 53 Developer Guide_:  
  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/GetInfoAboutHostedZone.html  
  
2. Update the domain registration to use the four name servers that you got in step 1. See "Adding or Changing Name Servers and Glue Records for a Domain":  
  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/domain-name-servers-glue-records.html  
  
After you finish, it will take a couple of days for you to be able to see your website again because DNS resolvers typically cache the names of name servers for two days. (Folks who use different DNS resolvers will be able to see your website as soon as you make the change. You might also be able to see your website from your phone.) For an overview of how DNS works, including the part about resolver caching, see "How Amazon Route 53 routes traffic for your domain":
