Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention.
From your screenshot, the canonical URL has already been checked and passed the audit tool since it exists in your page’s source code (self-referencing canonical URL).
Also, please note that the canonical box’s purpose would be to inform search engines that it is a duplicate page and should not be indexed. Hence, removing them from the sitemap.
Here’s a link for more information:

You should remove the canonical on that box and Rank Math will still add a self-referencing canonical URL on your URLs automatically.
Looking forward to helping you.
