normally using individual DNS records should get everything worked, and it's technically not necessary to use the DNS servers provided by the webhosting company. You would want to discuss with them to find a solution.
Here is a related reddit post, and its comments might be helpful: https://www.reddit.com/r/webhosting/comments/12gv3en/cloudflare_problem_you_cant_alter_their/
