Google Site Verification with Google Search Console

I have been trying to set up Google Search Console with my custom URL adobe website and it always comes back as "There may be invalid meta tags. Please check and try again."

I have read the help text at: https://help.myportfolio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015806633 and it does not work.

This is what I follow and I replaced the code with "vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv"

1. Sign in to your domain name provider (e.g. godaddy.com or namecheap.com) 2. Copy the TXT record below into the DNS configuration for nick-tuma.com google-site-verification=vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
3. Press verify below Note: DNS changes may take some time to apply. If Search Console doesn’t find the record immediately, wait a day and then try to verify again

I then copy that code into Custom Meta Tags and it always comes back that it cannot verify. What am I missing?
