Hello Rohan,

>> Have you been experiencing this issue from start or is it a recent one ?

You didn't answer this question. :-)

I think you should begin with a hard reset. Don't restore any backup before
syncing... see if that helps the attachments come across alright. If not
try the other troubleshooting options. Keep me posted.
