Hello,

Apologies for the confusion, but the 2nd screenshot is the Advanced editor, which is available with Rank Math PRO:

In the Rank Math free version, you may need to use and customize this filter on your site to control the sameAs property on the author:

add_filter( 'rank_math/json_ld', function( $data, $jsonld ) {
    if( isset($data['ProfilePage']) ) {
        $data['ProfilePage']['sameAs'] = [
            "https://www.youtube.com/c/test",
            "https://www.linkedin.com/company/test/"
        ];
    }
	return $data;
}, 99, 2);

You can use the code in your theme’s functions.php file or follow this guide for other methods: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/

The filter adds the sameAs property to the Person Schema that is used for the author property.

Hope that helps.
