Hello,
Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.
To include a page or any URLs in the sitemap, it is supposed to be marked as index and the canonical URL is pointing to itself.
If you already checked that, please follow the steps below:
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:

3. Apply the following filter code to your site.
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');
Here’s how you can add filter to your WordPress site:https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/
If the issue persists, please share some of the affected URLs that weren’t included in your sitemap.
Looking forward to helping you.
