How to connect a heroku app to a wix domain?

I bought a year plan with a free domain on wix.com for my portfolio. Now I've coded my portfolio and deployed on heroku. How can I disconnected my original wix-made portfolio page with the domain and connect the domain with my heroku app?

I've tried add domain and also edited my DNS Record on wix's domain dashboard (advanced tab).

screen shot of the wix dashboard: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17LzbD-DKn-QMH9adFdZVrtjE72gB_dvh/view?usp=sharing

To be specific, I only changed the CNAME's 'points to' section to the 'DNS Target'([something].herokudns.com) provided by heroku. (I've also tried to put [appname].herokuapp.com in the field)

screen shot of the heroku setting: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Gwxxe9VpO8zpSHNE1lfWPs0VJk4HB-fi/view?usp=sharing

Finally, I hope I can see my new self-coded portfolio when I visit the domain I got from wix.

As per your screenshot there is A record in ns which needs to be removed. I think you are pointing via cname which can be considered as an alternate option but would recommend you to add a addon on heroku name pointDNS and copy all the records from wix.com to pointDNS.Please try to follow below mentioned steps

1. Add the domain to your heroku app => heroku domains:add domainname

2. Go to resources-> add `PointDNS` addon,
    a.Verify by clicking on pointDNS
    b.Copy all NS records from wix to pointDNS
    c.Update NS issued by pointDNS (dns8.pointhq.com,dns12.pointhq.com) in wix
