You will need to configure the account manually.

First, remove the existing contacts account (if it's still there), then go to your Google account and ensure 2FA is disabled and also make sure the so called "allow less secure apps" is enabled.

If you wish to leave 2FA enabled, you can also create an app password and use the created password for step # 6.

Now follow these instructions carefully:

1. Go to Accounts.

2. Select Add Account.

3. Select Advanced at the bottom of the screen.

4. Tap CardDav.

5. Enter whatever you like for a description,
your Gmail address for username,
and Gmail address for the email address.

6.Enter your Gmail password for the password.

7. For the Server Address, enter the following:

https://www.googleapis.com/carddav/v...lists/default/

(Be sure to edit the address so the prefix "myname" is replaced with your own prefix. )

You might also need to sign out of Google from the browser to make this work.

Follow all the previous instructions but use this server address instead ;

https://www.googleapis.com/carddav/v...lists/default/

Be sure to edit the address so the prefix "myname" is replaced with your own prefix.
