Even if you sideload with USB from Calibre, it doesn't always work. (At least not if you're using an older version of Calibre, as I was until yesterday.)

I'm not quite sure what is the relevant step, but when I re-converted my books to AZW3 and re-compressed the images, using the latest Calibre (5.19) the covers reappeared.

According to this, it's because the cover has to be a jpeg with JFIF metadata, rather than EXIF.
