Issue with squarespace mapping on a subdomain of my domain

Hey all, quite new to anything sysadmin, just doing it as a hobby to access my NAS from anywhere. I have a domain through Cloudflare, and I'd like to use cloud.example.net as my access to nextcloud, but when I do this I get a splash screen from squarespace saying that this domain has been mapped to squarespace? But I can claim it in my DNS records somewhere? I haven't been able to figure out what it wants me to do yet. I did add this as a cname pointing to my main domain of course, and all my other subdomains are working through my reverse proxy as they should be

What do you mean by "of course I added a CNAME pointing to my main domain"? Does your main domain work with your NAS?
yeah

Yes it does. Everything except that subdomain works fine For example I have im.example.net hooked up to go to my immich and example.net goes to my homepage

Do you have anythign on Squarespace? If the request ends up with them, something needs to point there. Can you share your actual DNS records?
yeah

Yeah... odd. Maybe squarespace had something there and then when I treid to claim it they freed it up? i have no idea how that works, but either way the problem is resolved! Thank you so much for your help!
