I need my a(host) records
Our public website is no longer hosted on Wix. It’s a separate site hosted on railway. www.betheband.org is a CNAME to that external host, and it works fine.
The root domain (@) still has the standard Wix A records
Wix doesn't let me reassign the root domain via CNAME or TXT records.
I spoke to Wix and they said I need to update the A host in their domain records but I can't find that anywhere in the UI.

We don't publish a static IP address, so there is no A record value that points a root domain at us. Since Wix won't let you put a CNAME at the root, the root domain can't point at your Railway site while its DNS stays at Wix.
You have two options. The first is to keep serving the site from www, which already works, and use Wix's own domain forwarding or redirect settings to send the root domain to the www address. The second is to move the domain's nameservers to a DNS provider that supports CNAME flattening or ALIAS records, such as Cloudflare. You would then add the root domain as a custom domain on your service and create the CNAME and TXT records it shows at the new provider. Details are in Adding a root domain.
