I don't see any CNAMEs added under that domain, are you sure you added it correctly?
What name server are you using?

"I don't see any CNAMEs added under that domain" how did you check it?

If I am seeing this right, you are attempting to add an apex domain to Railway. In this case, I would suggest to read https://docs.railway.com/guides/public-networking#adding-a-custom-domain

Adding a Custom Domain

When adding a root or apex domain to your Railway service, you must ensure that you add the appropriate DNS record to the domain within your DNS provider. At this time, Railway supports CNAME Flattening and dynamic ALIAS records.

Additional context

Generally, direct CNAME records at the root or apex level are incompatible with DNS standards (which assert that you should use an "A" or "AAAA" record). However, given the dynamic nature of the modern web and PaaS providers like Railway, some DNS providers have incorporated workarounds enabling CNAME-like records to be associated with root domains. Check out RFC 1912 if you're interested in digging into this topic.

If you are unsure if your current DNS provider supports CNAME Flattening, it is best to change the name servers of your domain to Cloudflare's as they support it. Refer to https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/zone-setups/full-setup/setup/ in this case.

Cloudflare Docs

If you want to use Cloudflare as your primary DNS provider and manage your DNS records on Cloudflare, your domain should be using a full setup.
