Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math Support, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.
There must be some white-spaces before the XML Sitemap’s source code.
This might be added by a blank line/space in your wp-config.php file or your theme’s functions.php file. If there is no such blank space in your wp-config.php or functions.php file, check for a plugin conflict using the Health Check plugin.
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.
I hope this helps. Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
