Hello,
Thanks for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
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:
https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/
Once done, remove all the sitemaps from the Search Console and add sitemap_index.xml and wait for Google to crawl the sitemap.
That should fix the issue. Please let me know if that does not. We are here to assist.
