How do I point domain.com to domain1.com using a CNAME record in DNS?

I am trying to point domain.com to domain1.com using a CNAME record in the DNS zone file. I understand the A record needs to be placed there, as when I remove it and sync the DNS servers I get resolving issues. However, the www, test, and dev CNAME entries I put in the zone file resolve just fine.

How can I go about doing this?
To add, I am not looking to set up CNAME records for subdomains, I’m looking to set the CNAME record up for the main domain to forward to another domain via CNAME.
