If you are using proxy integration in API Gateway, then enabling CORS from API Gateway doesn't work. You have to set the Header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' from your Lambda code itself.

Its mentioned in the doc.

Python code sample:

    response = {
        'statusCode': 200,
        'headers': {
            'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*'
        },
        'body': json.dumps({'message': 'CORS enabled')
    }
    return response
