Answer

Your policy does not include route53:ChangeResourceRecordSets:

Grants permission to create, update, or delete a record, which contains authoritative DNS information for a specified domain or subdomain name

You only have "route53domains:*" permissions, but you don’t have route53:* nor route53:ChangeResourceRecordSets.

ChangeResourceRecordSets is from route53, not from route53domains.
