3rd party widgets stuck at bottom on today view

In iOS 13, I had a couple widgets for two of the apps I wanted to see all the time: ESPN with sports scores and MyFitnessPal with what I’ve done for the day. I was able to move them where I wanted and all was good. In iOS 14, I now have them stuck at the bottom in a box that is not movable. I cannot move them anywhere up the screen. Why??? Why is this functionality that was available in the previous os taken away now as we upgrade?

Am I doing something wrong? Or did this get broken as we upgraded?

thanks!!

Whether this is an iPadOS14 bug - or is by design - the new style Apple Widgets appear before the “old” Widgets that relate to other Apps.

As there is no workaround for this [current] functional limitation, I recommend that you provide appropriate feedback to Apple via the product feedback portal:

Feedback - iPad - Apple

When submitting the report, ensure that you include details of your iPad model and installed version of iPadOS in the body of the report. The drop-down menu doesn’t yet include iPadOS 13.7 or 14.x.

Please do not rely upon others submitting this issue to Apple. History demonstrates that only those bugs for which sufficient reports are received will be assigned priority for remediation.

I have the same issue, and my guess is that they are iOS 13 widgets that haven’t been updated yet. I’ve noticed that the Apple ones were exclusively at the to at first, but now my WaterMinder widget has joined them. Until we get an official answer, that’s my guess. Hope the devs get moving on updating apps and widgets.
