Trouble connecting to my managed postgres dB using Django

Having trouble connecting to my Digital Ocean Managed Postgres dB using Django. My connection details are correct because I can run normal python scripts that connect to my dB just fine. However, connecting via Django causes this error:

Connecting to the PostgreSQL database...
could not connect to server: Connection timed out
        Is the server running on host "HOSTNAME" ("IP_ADDRESS") and accepting
        TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

I don’t know which the error returns port 5432, which is the default postgres port. In my settings file I only inputted my DO port.

Here is my settings.py file

Please let me know how I can connect to my dB through django, many thanks in advance for any guidance or help.
