Using Linode’s DNS Manager as a Slave

i was following this tutorial but still can't get it to work.
https://www.linode.com/docs/websites/cms/set-up-dns-services-on-cpanel/

my server is debian 9

the steps that I took… first I added the nameservers at my registrar. ns1.example.com
ns2.example.com
ns1.linode.com
ns2.linode.com
ns3.linode.com
ns4.linode.com
ns5.linode.com

then I added the following to /etc/bind/named.conf.options

options{

allow-transfer {
104.237.137.10;
65.19.178.10;
75.127.96.10;
207.192.70.10;
109.74.194.10;
2600:3c00::a;
2600:3c01::a;
2600:3c02::a;
2600:3c03::a;
2a01:7e00::a;
};
also-notify {
104.237.137.10;
65.19.178.10;
75.127.96.10;
207.192.70.10;
109.74.194.10;
2600:3c00::a;
2600:3c01::a;
2600:3c02::a;
2600:3c03::a;
2a01:7e00::a;
};

};

the last bit, I added a slave zone in DNS manager

the errors I get:

DNS servers responded
ERROR: One or more of your nameservers did not respond:
The ones that did not respond are:
162.159.27.72 162.159.26.99 162.159.24.25 162.159.24.39 162.159.25.129

That's saying that the Linode nameservers are not responding, which means that they probably don't think they're authoritative in some way to respond for the domain. What does your slave zone look like in Linode Manager? For mine I have,

Domain: mydomain.com
Masters: (my-Linodes-IP-address)
Domain Transfers: (my-Linodes-IP-address)

Otherwise you might just need to wait 24 hours for DNS records to update everywhere.
