I'd recommend migrating to Cloudflare's DNS.

cname cant exist at a domains root, thats a dns rule not a godaddy or railway bug, its because the root also needs SOA/NS records too
you can read it here : https://betterstack.com/community/questions/why-cant-cname-be-used-at-the-root-of-domain/
if you dont wanna switch dns providers: point www to railway with a cname, then use godaddy's domain forwarding to redirect your bare domain to www with a 301. only catch is the url bar will show www.yourdomain.com when someone visits the root

You'd add the domain as www.<YOUR_DOMAIN> in Railway instead of just your domain.

You'd then create a forwarding rule in your dashboard.

Although I'd recommend migrating to Cloudflare's DNS, as they also provide a vast amount of other features that may become useful.

did you also add www.yourdomain.com as a custom domain inside railway itself (service settings → networking → domains)? the godaddy cname only handles dns, railway still needs to know that hostname belongs to your service or it'll reject the request even if dns is pointing correctly

Can you define "still doesn't work"?

Can you show a screenshot of your DNS page?
I wasn't able to find any DNS records associated with the domain you're using.

I'd check if your domain was typed correctly. I'm not able to find anything on el-banna.store, let alone www.el-banna.store.
