Trouble with verifying cloudflare domain with firebase
hello, newbie to web dev but trying to build a website for a business. bought a domain on Cloudflare, and have just a simple hello world site hosted on firebase, but we're trying to get it working on our actual domain name. We tried to follow the instructions on firebase about changing the DNS records, but the records that firebase wants us to delete are non-existent, so we don't know how to continue with verifying the domain name. Any help is greatly appreciated. 🙏

What's the domain name & the records Firebase wants you to add/delete?
the name is k-acuwellness.com. firebase wants us to add an A record type which we did, and wants us to remove 2 A types and 2 AAAA types but we only have one MX and 4 TXT types on cloudflare.
It wants the A record to be unproxied/dns-only in Cloudflare, but you added it as Proxied
When you add it as Proxied, CF on free plan automagically serves 2 Proxy IPv4/A Records, and 2 Proxy AAAA records so that it flows through CF's CDN first
oh, thank you so much
also if you don't mind, do you know of any resources to learn these things?
like for how CF Works?
https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/concepts/how-cloudflare-works/
or how Proxy Works?
https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/manage-dns-records/reference/proxied-dns-records/
or just general getting started?
https://developers.cloudflare.com/learning-paths/get-started/
there's tons of resources on like front end general web dev stuff but don't really know how to even get started on the more backend and web server services stuff. don't even know the technical names for them.
thank you so much!!
