I created an Amplify application and linked my custom domain from Google domains. I linked it a few months ago and it deployed successfully- my website was live for few months.
Then I accidentally deleted the domain on Amplify console and had to redo the domain activation process. I went through the same process as I did it previously, but it now fails on Domain Activation step, saying

SSL Creation and SSL Configuration steps pass. I checked my Google domain DNS config, and everything seems correctly configured. I also checked this doc and verified that my CNAME resolves to the correct URL and also deleted all distributions on CloudFront so I can start fresh... but still getting the same error. Appreciate any help from you ops experts!
I'm not sure if this is a correct fix to the issue, but I ended up
deleting the domain and setting it up again, except I added another subdomain www in the amplify console and made it point to main github branch. So on Amplify's domain management console, I would start with https://your-website.com and https://www.your-website.com pointing to main branch (+ more subdomains as needed).
added necessary CNAME records on google domains
Took a few minutes to propagate and it's live again!
