MX Record not propagating from Route53

Howdy, and apologies if this is the wrong subreddit.

We have a domain, and receiving mail broke. I tracked it down to non-propagating MX record (according to dnschecker.org )

I worked with Google to update the MX record and add some TXT entries, but still no propagation, then went through the Workspace tool to enable, still nothing.

I do not have DNSSEC enabled, and there are no keys there.

Also noticed dig referencing bodis.com, which is some parking site (according to google). Google said this is normal, but a 2nd opinion is welcome.

Dig output:
$ dig netalignment.com MX
