Help me k8oms and Steegle you are my only hope...

I'm just an inexperienced individual trying to set up my website: seekingsensuality.com
using new Google sites:
https://sites.google.com/view/seekingsensuality/home
and 123reg.co.uk
https://www.123-reg.co.uk/support/domains/how-do-i-forward-my-domain-name-to-another-website/

From this article:
https://www.steegle.com/google-sites/how-to/assign-custom-url-domain-personal?utm_source=sites-help-forum&utm_medium=post&utm_term=Assign+Custom+Domain+URL+%28Personal%29+-+new+Google+Sites&utm_campaign=new-sites
I understand that top level:
http://seekingsensuality.com
Needs to point to lower level
http://www.seekingsensuality.com

From this site and k8's many fault finding journeys:
https://www.k8oms.net/more-info/mapping-to-domain
I understand that each domain has different foibles. Very confusing.

I got as far as step 5 of 7 on this page:
https://www.123-reg.co.uk/support/domains/how-do-i-point-my-123-reg-domain-name-to-my-3rd-party-website/
But then I didn't understand.
Does it want Google's nameserver details to be logged in 123reg control panel?

For a period of time I was getting the Refuses to Connect message.
https://support.google.com/sites/answer/9068867?hl=en

But that's now changed to:
403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.

I'm so lost and just running around in circles.

:-(

Sorry, this is so late.

You need a CNAME record of type www that points to ghs.googlehosted.com and you should remove the incorrect one.
