Route53 Domain for Netlify hosted site

This is exactly what’s explained in that guide. Adding nameservers in your DNS managenet area is not the way to handle this. You need to change your nameservers in the domain’s settings. This is also explained in AWS docs: Adding or changing name servers and glue records for a domain - Amazon Route 53
