Welcome E
Your audio settings are correct, but you have a lot of background noise.
First, try to isolate your mic from the noise, such as computer fan. If that isn’t entirely successful, use Audacity’s Noise Removal filter to reduce the background noise about 10db. Noise removal instructions are available here: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Noise_Cleaning. A video tutorial on Audacity noise removal is available here: https://youtu.be/rvhqw7zBmEo
You can pre-check your audio yourself by downloading the free Checker app: https://cgjennings.ca/projects/checker/
Passed with Warnings is a fail with regard to volume.
Go to Validation>Choose Validation Methods and check Background Noise. Be sure to leave several seconds blank at the end of your recording.
Please make a new test recording and post it in a reply to this message. I will come back and review it for you.

Your audio meets LibriVox requirements, so you are good to go. ne note: Your volume is barely under the max at 91.8db. You should target about 89 to allow a margin of safety going forward.
Happy narrating!
