Terraform fails to create AWS Route53 record, but I can create it manually?

Terraform v0.12.x

I'm trying to create a Route53 record with this script, which aims to create an A record that's aliased to an ALB.

data "aws_route53_zone" "mycompany_com" {
  name         = "mycompany.com."
  private_zone = true
}

resource "aws_route53_record" "jenkins_master_green" {
  zone_id = data.aws_route53_zone.mycompany_com.zone_id
  name    = "jenkins-green.${data.aws_route53_zone.mycompany_com.name}"
  type    = "A"
  alias {
    name = aws_lb.jenkins_master_green.dns_name
    zone_id = data.aws_route53_zone.mycompany_com.zone_id
    evaluate_target_health = false
  }
}

The plan shows the correct values I expect

$ terraform plan -out out.output

But when I apply the plan I get

$ terraform apply out.output
aws_route53_record.jenkins_master_green: Creating...

Error: [ERR]: Error building changeset: InvalidChangeBatch: [Tried to create an alias that targets <redacted>.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com., type A in zone <redacted>, but the alias target name does not lie within the target zone, Tried to create an alias that targets <redacted>.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com., type A in zone <redacted>, but that target was not found]
    status code: 400, request id: 2cf7384d-fa16-4828-854b-ea3e56cc0754

If I go to the AWS Route53 console, I can create the record. What am I missing?

Try using zone_id from aws_lb.jenkins_master_green

data "aws_route53_zone" "mycompany_com" {
  name         = "mycompany.com."
  private_zone = true
}

resource "aws_route53_record" "jenkins_master_green" {
  zone_id = data.aws_route53_zone.mycompany_com.zone_id
  name    = "jenkins-green.${data.aws_route53_zone.mycompany_com.name}"
  type    = "A"
  alias {
    name                   = aws_lb.jenkins_master_green.dns_name
    zone_id                = aws_lb.jenkins_master_green.zone_id
    evaluate_target_health = false
  }
}
