Your domain points to InfinityFree, so you should be able to add it to an account.
As for this:

set the CName
You either use the nameservers or create a CNAME record, you can’t do both. Since you have changed the nameservers, you don’t need to add a CNAME record (and it wouldn’t work anyway).

so, i’ll just wait until my domain truly redirects to my infinityfree project. i just changed it a while ago so i guess the changes will reflect after some time?
