There is a "bit" in the memory that CHIRP "looks" at to determine if you are using a VHF/UHF radio or one of the no longer available VHF/220 radios (UV-5RAX and UV-82X come to mind). Your image has this bit to the value that tells CHIRP that your radio is a VHF/220 model so it enables the 220 MHz band and removes the UHF band. You can verify this by trying to enter frequencies in the 220-260 MHz range. If that works, then this is the reason.
Open a ticket, attach a freshly downloaded image from your radio and I will correct it for you.
