Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. crt.sh | example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

Hello, I was trying to setup my laptop as a server to host my WebRTC live streaming website and am using nginx as reverse proxy, I set this name to the server randomly 'knightslivestream.com' or any CDN type services
You can't just use any randomly chosen hostname on the internet: domain names need to be registered in the domain name system (DNS) through a DNS registar. I.e.: you need to buy a domain name first, before you can actually use it. Or use one of the free domain name services available on the internet.
Your domain isn't being served by any of the IPs resolved from your listed authoritative DNS servers.
Two servers which each have four IPs - but they overlap each other with three of those IPs.
So the expected eight IPs are actually only five unique IPs.
[a very strange and confusing setup]

To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was
entered correctly and the DNS A/AAAA record(s) for that domain
contain(s) the right IP address.
this is dns management, this how I am configuring it, the Ip addresses are 159.65.237.131 10.10.0.20 10.136.0.16 , I need to check with you if am all good to go or not
Also, I would like to point out that while indeed the DNS registar does not need to be the same company as the DNS service provider, this needs to be configured properly if that's the case.
At the moment, when I try to resolve the IP address for ethiolive.net, the authorative DNS servers seem to be:
(...)
ethiolive.net. 172800 IN NS ns2.dnsowl.com.
ethiolive.net. 172800 IN NS ns3.dnsowl.com.
ethiolive.net. 172800 IN NS ns1.dnsowl.com.
;; Received 655 bytes from 2001:501:b1f9::30#53(m.gtld-servers.net) in 13 ms
ethiolive.net. 172800 IN SOA ns1.dnsowl.com. hostmaster.dnsowl.com. 1631205299 7200 1800 1209600 600
;; Received 103 bytes from 162.159.26.136#53(ns1.dnsowl.com) in 16 ms
So subdomains of the domain dnsowl.com. And that domain seems to be registered by a company called "NameSilo, LLC", which seems to be a DNS provider and hosting provider and such..
However, the DNS zone editor you showed above is from a company called "HahuCloud"?
So I'm not sure if you're managing your DNS at the correct place. With the current authorative DNS servers, you should be editing your DNS zone at NameSilo? Another option would be to set the authorative DNS servers to the HahuCloud authorative DNS servers.
