Hello,
Rank math can only affect whether your post is indexed or not by setting them as index or noindex. If you pages are set to index, it is likely the rate of indexing was affected by a change in your settings.
Please note that it is completely normal for a newly published post/page/website to take time before it gets crawled or indexed by Google. It depends on a lot of factors. Your posting frequency + the domain authority are just two of the many factors Google considers when indexing some new URL. Google assigns a crawl budget to your website depending on these factors (especially these two) and that has a direct effect on how soon or how late your content can get indexed.
Google decides to include the URL in the index. No SEO plugin can force Google to index something they don’t want to.
With that said, we have found that barring any issues like copied/DMCA/low-quality content issues – Google usually indexes posts within a week or two.
Google even says that on their official website:

If your website isn’t indexed even after a week, you can place a manual indexing request here:

Finally, it all boils down to the quality of the content, and if your content improves Google’s overall search index.
Please check this article where one of the Google employees mentioned:
“If your site relies on manual index submission for normal content, you need to significantly improve your site. Search console does not fix your site, you need to do that yourself.” – JohnMu
