Custom domain "403 Forbidden" using Github Pages

I have created a webpage using Github Pages, from my understanding everything should be working fine, and the username.github.io link works perfectly fine. So, I added CNAME in the format of:

websitename.com

On the DNS settings on my domain's end, I've added the Github DNS IP's:

185.199.108.153
185.199.109.153
185.199.110.153
185.199.111.153

I've also added a CNAME record on my domain's end:

CNAME username.github.io

However, whenever I try accessing my website I receive a 403 Forbidden Error message.

Forbidden: You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Some other information that may be necessary, the TTL is 1 hour, I do not have a .htaccess file, and I have done a very similar process on a different GitHub account for my personal portfolio which works perfectly fine. The only difference being where I purchased the domain from. If any other information is needed I will gladly add it.

You need to remove Github dns records on your domain's zone file. Just putting CNAME pointing to username.github.io is enough.
