Ansible netconf is not working with Cisco IOS

Hello,

I am trying to use Netconf_config model on Cisco switch catalyst 9300.
I am getting following error message.

You can see the playbook and the running the palybook. I tried with different options like changing the RPC, indentation and changing the XML to content in playbook. But nothing worked.

Please let me know where i need to change.

auto@automation:~/python/ansible$ ansible-playbook testing.yaml -u admin -k
