Do EXACTLY what @Lakotaubp said, use file manager to open vcf file.

@Headgas Try moving it to your pc. Conect your UT device and move the .vcf file accross to documents. Then on UT use the File Manager and it should work.

You don't understand, in UT it wont let me do anything with the attachment. I cant copy it anywhere.

@Headgas
I don't get it, how you see attachment on your UT device if you can't set dekko to work?

@Headgas Just to check you are exporting the contacts list as a .vcf on your pixel. You then copy that .vcf and email to your pc. Copy that onto the pc and from there copy the .vcf into downloads on the nexus. Then using the File Manager app going to the downloads file and tapping on the .vcf will not give you the option to open with contacts.

tapping on the .vcf will ~~not~~ now give you the option to open with contacts.

I used gmail to check my email to get the attatchment(so I didn't use dekko2). nothing happens when I click on it. I tried transfering the file from my computer to my nexus and it wont let me.

@Headgas Switch Dev mode on in system settings. Then use UT TweakTool ( drop down menu, system) check adb connection allows MTP and you should be ok. Though why your pc can't access the nexus when you must have used the installer is a worry.
You should be able to copy and paste from one to the other or drag and drop.

Go to system settings, then security and privacy, then lock and unlock, then lock security, and choose code, set a code.
Reboot.
Now, try again when phone is unlocked, and plugged to PC, don't let phone go in sleep mode while doing, screen MUST be on when plugging to PC.

Phone should be MTP by default, that's weird if it's not.

It is, but screen must be unlocked to connect. You also must copy the file into one of the folders, not in the toplevel directory, which is not a writable place.
