Hello.  
Try changing "HostedZoneId" to "Z2FDTNDATAQYW2" as described in the following document.  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/quickref-route53.html#w4ab1c23c21c84c11  
> When you create alias resource record sets, you must specify Z2FDTNDATAQYW2 for the HostedZoneId property, as shown in the following example. Alias resource record sets for CloudFront can't be created in a private zone.

Your template would look something like this  
```
  FESCloudFrontDistributionDomainNameRecord:
    Type: AWS::Route53::RecordSet # Defines a Route 53 record set
    Properties:
      # HostedZoneName: !Sub "${CustomDomainName}."
      HostedZoneId: !Ref CustomDomainHostedZoneID
      Name: !Sub "${CustomDomainName}." # Specifies the record name
      Type: A # Specifies the record type as A
      AliasTarget:
        HostedZoneId: Z2FDTNDATAQYW2
        DNSName: !GetAtt FECloudFrontDistribution.DomainName 
```
