Sorry for all the comments you're getting. You can absolutely do what you're trying to do.

The technical answer is you first have to setup a subdomain. Then, using webfinger, you can point that subdomain back to your primary domain. This will make your Mastodon server appear as your primary domain even though your website / email is already parked there.

It's explained in this blog post on Masto.host. I had someone else set this up as I'm not technical, but it absolutely works.
