Route53 - Subdomain not resolving after adding an A record pointing to a different IP address

I have a main web app on Amazon ElasticBeanstalk and all the DNS records are already set correctly. But I need a subdomain to redirect to a different IP address (to my lightsail instance).

So I added a new A record in the same hosted zone like so: enter image description here

However, when I visit ctgze.domain.com, the site won't load. However, if I access the IP address directly, it loads fine (shows the default Apache index.html since I have my virtualhost for my app configured for ctgze.domain.com. I have configured apache like so:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName ctgze.domain.com
        ServerAdmin root@localhost
        WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/domain/domain.wsgi
        <Directory /var/www/domain/domain/>
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
        </Directory>
        Alias /static /var/www/domain/domain/static
        <Directory /var/www/domain/domain/static/>
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
        </Directory>
        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        LogLevel warn
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Why is it not working?

It was a browser cache issue.

I tried to access my subdomain using curl and it loaded. But in Chrome it times out. I tried clearing my cache/loading in incognito and it worked.
