Google Contacts not showing in any contact app

[Android Central Question]

I am setting up a new Galaxy s6 lite.
All good except contacts aren't showing on any contact app.
Google contacts app shows preparing to sync, this may take a while.
It is stuck there and doesn't move.
I turned sync on and off
Turned contact sync on and off
Deleted and reinstalled app
Cleared data
Checked permissions
Deleted Google account and set up again
Removed any power saving
Contacts show fine on all other devices

HELP

Welcome to Android Central! Go to Settings>Accounts>Google and look at the Contacts sync there. Does it say Sync Error?

Probably took a little longer to sync

Deleted all contact data on another device, came back in seconds.
Installed a different contact app, contacts appeared in seconds.
Still baffled.
Thank you all for your time.

Yeah I agree strange , but at least it's working now , I've heard some members have google back up sync issue and later finally sync. Your welcome!
