The Calendar app is not syncing birthdays correctly

the calendar app is malfunctioning, it’s not syncing birthdays correctly. I’ve tried checking the settings and making sure cellular is checked on for both contacts and calendar, and also made sure it’s “all events” is checked on sync. Nothing has worked
