Setting up DNS migrating from Neocities to InMotion

I have a domain name purchased through canreg.com, which I had been using with Neocities. I would like to take my site from neocities and host it somewhere that allows wordpress installation and backend scripting, so i purchased a plan with InMotion. I'm confused about how to undo the DNS pointing to Neocities and point it here instead. When I go to the update DNS section in the registrar's panel, I see this:

I have already put in the nameservers as instructed here: https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/domain-names/dns-nameserver-changes/ but there is nowhere to put the IP addresses. There is also this control panel on canreg for DNS, and I'm not sure what the difference is:

Previously, that panel had records from when I set the site up with neocities according to these instructions:

So I've already removed the A and AAAA records for Neocities-- do I need to replace them with one of the Canreg IP addresses?

Currently, if you type my domain into a browser it first says bad SSL certificate, and the certificate says it is still being provided by neocities:

If someone could help me figure out how to connect the domain that would be great, thank you!

Hello,

It looks like you have your domain pointed correctly. Once changing your domain's DNS, it can take several hours for those changes to propagate across the Internet.
