Hello,
Thanks for contacting us, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
This is because you’ve XML declaration error on your sitemap.
This is usually caused by whitespace in your theme code that is breaking the sitemap generation. In your case, not only sitemap, but also for any other URLs on your site, the blank lines are added in the source code.
This might be added by a blank line/space in your wp-config.php file or your theme’s functions.php file. Here’s a link for more information:

You can get in touch with your web host for assistance checking your website files for you.
Also, make sure your cache is disabled as it is highly likely that the cache is interfering with the working of Sitemap functionality of Rank Math.
Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
