LeadPages and Cloudflare conflict, womp, womp...
I am new at the Discord thing, and new at poking around on Cloudflare, but I've run into a conflict linking my LeadPages host to my Cloudflare domain. It keeps saying to contact support. Leadpages support said "Cloudflare isn't particularly happy with the settings because it's detecting we don't have an SSL certificate to offer, even though we would. This is the point, I'm afraid, that I would need to refer you to Cloudflare's team, since it's specific to their settings." Oofs! I get the error, "An A, AAAA, or CNAME record with that host already exists" when I try to add the right data, and it points me to a troubleshooting page. However, I do n-o-t have a pre-existing record, at least to our knowledge. Thoughts? Feels?

What is the domain you are trying to use which is erroring?
https://www.chronicpainandtrauma.com/ is the domain!
ok, from what I can see, you dont have any DNS records...
what does your cloudflare dashboard show
It says that I have the A and CNAME that I need, per Leadpages support, but I also get the messages - Recommended steps to complete zone set-up:
Add an A, AAAA, or CNAME record for www so that www.chronicpainandtrauma.com will resolve.
Add an A, AAAA, or CNAME record for your root domain so that chronicpainandtrauma.com will resolve.
Add an MX record for your root domain so that mail can reach @chronicpainandtrauma.com addresses or set up restrictive SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to prevent email spoofing.
LeadPages suggested it has something to do with CloudFlare's settings and that they're not recognizing LeadPages because they "don't have an SSL certificate to offer", even though they do. Thoughts?
you haven't created any DNS records that point to Leadpages
so they cant provision a DNS record
Hm, it says it's there under A and CNAME, and this why LeadPages were also stumped. I wonder why there's a disconnect? What do you think?
can you show your cloudflare dashboard DNS settings
Can I message you privately on Discord and share with you? I don't know if I should just be posting screenshots on the web... I am new at this 👀 . I'm assuming you work with Cloudflare!
DNS records are publicly viewable so sharing your DNS configuration just allows us to see you've set it up as you say you have.
A basic tool shows nothing exists right now

Sure, but I do not work for Cloudflare
As @james090500 said, unproxied DNS records are public anyways.
From what can be seen you have no DNS records setup
