Time synchronization is off (2 Minutes)

SNTP is not synching correctly now on 5.14.105. If I try and enter a new time server in to the configuration section under dashboard I get an error. It appears the entry is added to the configuration, however when the time synch tries to synchronizes it fails. I can run sntp manually from the command line (ssh) however it’s not updating the clock, it’s simply connecting to the server and providing an output. No kod database file exists at /var/db/ntp-kod.

Correct time synchronization is critical for backups. Where can I open an official bug on this issue?
thanks

Running >sntp -s time-e-g.nist.gov does synch the time up correctly

root@VandiverCloud ~ # sntp -s time-e-g.nist.gov
