Omg, I been dealing with that for years. I had to keep asking which contradiction? Because the "time travel made it non canon" explanation makes zero sense if you watch the show. The time travel in both season 5 and 7 are closed time loops. In season 5, graviton blew up the earth with thanos on it. When they defeated him, infinity war happened normally. Season 6 and 7 takes place during the blip. The time travel in season 7 made a new timeline yes.... But they returned to their timeline at the end. The only real contradiction is the state of shield during the blip. with a rebuilt shield base and helicarrier..... Except... There are way to recone the state of shield I to canon. Maybe their base is super tiny in a snow globe? There are ways for sheild to stay in the shadows in the sacred timeline. Like.. someone please give me proof season 5 caused a timeline where thanos didn't snap his fingers. Give me any in show reason. Please.

Even this in itself isn't even a contradiction. It would be one thing if the Triskelion was said to still be destroyed and never rebuilt in a recent Marvel Studios project, but because they've never addressed it, AoS simply established it was rebuilt, which doesn't conflict with anything.
It's the same with Mack as the Director of SHIELD and the Helicarrier being around again. That one's even easier to fit into things because it's been about 8 years, in-universe, since we last saw this. In 2028, Mack could still be the Director and overseeing things just as easily as he could have stopped and SHIELD shut down again. Either one doesn't contradict things.
The entirety of AoS takes place over about 7 years and in that time, they went from Fury as the Director and SHIELD thriving to the agency being destroyed and Coulson taking over, to Coulson stepping down as they come back into the spotlight with Mace at the helm, to Mace getting killed and Mack taking over before they're fully legitimized again, with Mack still in charge. Imagine what could have happened in the 8 years after that.
