DNS not resolving

My registrar is DreamHost and I am hosting a site on Azure as a Static Web App.

I'm using custom nameservers in DreamHost that Azure displays in my DNS Zone (******@azure-dns.com., ******@azuredns.net., ******@azuredns.org., ******@azuredns.info.) and DreamHost support has confirmed I did this correctly on their end:

digwebinterface.com shows my domain resolving to Azure..
xmydomainx.com. 300 IN SOA ns1-38.azure-dns.com. azuredns-hostmaster.microsoft.com. 1 3600 300 2419200 300

These are my complete records in DreamHost:

This was done three days ago. DreamHost support says everything is looking fine on their end and the issue must lie with Azure which digwebinterface seems to indicate as well. I've consulted recommended resources for troubleshooting and still can't imagine what the issue is.

Any suggestions?

Edit:
It's not a cache issue as I've both been using private windows and clearing browser caches.

Also, I am following the instructions in the Microsoft tutorial for this at: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dns/dns-delegate-domain-azure-dns

My when I go into terminal and do: 'nslookup -type=SOA xmydomainx.com'

I get:

Server: testwifi.here
Address: 192.168.86.1

Non-authoritative answer:
xmydomainx.com
primary name server = ns1-38.azure-dns.com
responsible mail addr = azuredns-hostmaster.microsoft.com
serial = 1
refresh = 3600 (1 hour)
retry = 300 (5 mins)
expire = 2419200 (28 days)
default TTL = 300 (5 mins)

This seems to be close to what the tutorial says I should expect except for the testwifi.here server and it's IP address which sends me to some Google site for downloading a Google Wifi App. I have no clue why this is or what it has to do with anything I'm doing.

    Apparently, there are additional steps beyond the tutorial I originally used. I needed to do further configuration in both the Static Web App itself and the DNS Zone as discussed here:
