Seems like a common issue in nexus 5x. Here are your troubleshooting tips :

1) Try with another sim , a proper factory cut nano sim.

2) Order another nano sim from ufone

3) See if the sim tray is adjusted properly

4) get it checked from the market to ascertain whether you have damaged the sim pins inside.

5) Return to google as the last resort as many 5x have been received by customers in this condition.

Good luck

First off, update to 6.0.1
Do a factory reset.
Get a fresh Nano SIM from Ufone.
Turn the phone off.
Pop the SIM in and make sure the tray fits in properly and the SIM isn't wiggling around.
Put the phone back on.
Quickly dial *#*#4636#*#*
Press Phone Information
Turn Radio Off
Choose WCDMA/GSM (Auto) if you're in 3G coverage
Choose GSM only if you're not in 3G coverage

Once you've selected the option, turn the radio back on and quickly reboot the phone.
You should have signal. If not, then let Google know the problem.

As a last resort, try another SIM from a different network.

Have you tried setting your phone to 2G only? aka GSM

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    Both PS and Xbox have been a flop this gen as they can barely maintain 30 fps in a lot of AAA games th.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Gradually transitioning from console gaming to PC as the games are not worth it. 6 hours of Hellblade 2 is just not worth the $50 price tag.
    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
