First thing.... I'd edit out your site IP in your image.
But other than that, your root & WWW look fine. It can take a while (depending on the DNS system) for those addresses to filter throughout the DNS system.
You might have some underlying issues going on.... as a DNS validation check for your domain is giving different IP addresses (Amazon AWS releated).

Thanks for the reply. I don't fully understand what you're saying but I will look into it haha. I bit off more than I could chew thinking pointing the forum to my custom domain would be easier as XenForo kind of proudly proclaims that on their front page. Guess I'm just dumber than they think the average user is.
Thanks again.

As long as you have valid IP addresses assigned for the domain and your DNS host is decent, it should not be that difficult of an item.
You may want to contact PorkBun (if that's where you manage your DNS) and tell them that your domain entries were earlier pointing at Amazon AW IP's. Your domain is still showing as "parked" with PorkBun... so you may have some additional DNS entries in your management console that need to be removed.
It's a fairly simple process.
You will need to purchase the custom domain if you haven't already done so.
Once you have, log in to your Cloud account, click the wrench icon and select Connect custom domain.
You will then be given the details of two DNS records you need to enter in your registrar/hosting account for the domain.
Ensure you set the TTL to the lowest possible value first, to ensure it updates as quickly as possible.

Follow the instructions here - https://kb.porkbun.com/article/54-pointing-your-domain-to-hosting-with-a-records
It looks like you need to delete default ALIAS and CNAME records pointing to something like pixie-parking.porkbun.com as well as creating the new records.
