Trouble adding gmail account to Outlook

Question

I have several gmail accounts that I want to add to Outlook. I'm using the classic version. A couple of the accounts were added without issue. But I'm having trouble adding a couple others. The error message simply indicates that I need to make changes to the G-Mail settings. But I've compared settings in the various accounts but can't seem to find the problematic difference in the settings. I know this is sketchy, but any hints would be much appreciated
