No, it is not too late to make an IRA Contribution for 2020. You have up to tax filing deadline of April 15 to do so.

Although it's not too late to make an IRA contribution for 2020, an IRA contribution won't do anything to reduce the early-distribution penalty on the IRA distributions that you received in 2020. A new IRA contribution is not a rollover.
