What am I doing wrong here?

Trying to get NIP-05 verified with my own domain.

I've got the domain hosted.

I've got a .well-known/nostr.json file inside my public_html folder at my domain host. The nPub has been converted to HEX format using damus.io/key. The "name" I am using in the json file is GANDALF and then I am inputting gandalf@btcgandalf.com in the NIP-05 identifier field in my nostr profile.

I have followed the instructions to enable CORS by creating a .htaccess file.

But still no verification.

Any ideas where I am going wrong?
