How do I make an MX record to point to a Google Workspace email address of the same domain?

I purchased anarchitecture.io from Google Domains, and pointed it to a Google Cloud Compute instance Apache server by adding an A record with the IP address of the server.

I also set that domain to "Use custom name servers" and set them to the following addresses.

ns-cloud-b1.googledomains.com
ns-cloud-b2.googledomains.com
ns-cloud-b3.googledomains.com
ns-cloud-b4.googledomains.com

I created the email address anarchitect@anarchitecture.io with Google Workspaces. It is not receiving mail. I assume that I have to set up an MX record to point to the correct mail servers for this service. How do I set up an MX record without breaking my website? What addresses should I point to with the MX record?

I had to enter the following addresses to the MX record in Cloud DNS, including the priority number.

1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
5 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
5 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
10 ALT3.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
10 ALT4.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
