It's a known issue currently.
It should be fixed in next OTA-14.
In the meantime, you can try this workaround: (worked perfectly well for me as well as dozen users). Start to enable the access of "less secured apps" in your Google account. Than run as following:
- From your device, download this plugin: https://github.com/rubencarneiro/account-plugins/releases
- Open the terminal application (tap on ENTER key after each following command)
- Type: cd Downloads
- Type: sudo -s
- Type: sudo mount -o remount,rw /
- Type: sudo dpkg -i account-plugin-google_0.15.0ubports1local.1586944513_all.deb
- Type: cd
- Type: exit
- Reboot your device
- Open settings => accounts => select Google
- Enter your e-mail address
- Enter your password
- Without enlarging the screen with your fingers, select: "Allow all actions"
Here you should be well connected to your Google account, which will automatically sync your calendar & contacts on your device

@nocomp Unfortunately the fix has been postponed to OTA-15: https://github.com/orgs/ubports/projects/24
However, the previously mentioned .deb file plugin works like a charm
