Hello,
Can you please follow these steps?
1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:

That should fix the issue. Please let me know if that does not. We are here to assist.
It did not solve the issue
Hello,
The URL /?xsl=main should be rewritten to /main-sitemap.xsl (the rewrite pattern looks like this: '/([a-z]+)?-?sitemap\.xsl$/' => '?xsl=$1').
We would like to add that the only purpose of the XSL file is to make the sitemap “human-readable” so in terms of SEO it doesn’t make a difference. Google will still see the sitemap correctly, even without the XSL. And, if you send in the correct /sitemap-index.xml to Google in Search Console, then the /sitemap.xml redirection isn’t important either.
In other words, these issues will not hurt your SEO.
Hope this helps clarify your doubts.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
