I can only advise you on possible things you can try.

Controller issues tend to fall under a couple categories..
1) Being sure windows IDs these exotic controllers properly and having the ability to test them using built-in Windows diagnostic tools.
2) Windows may be issuing the same controller ID to cover the controls which MAME needs to know to properly distinguish Player 1 and 2, and so on.

Basically speaking, if Windows can use a controller, so can MAME.

It is possible you need to configure IDs into a .cfg file

Hi Tafiod
1- Yes I have check it with windows diagnostic tools and its working properly and I can play the windows PC games with it without any issue the problem only accrue when I'm trying to play with it in MAME only

2- I don't know how to check it I have post this issue to see if someone has the same issue with the New Xbox Series controller

They have different method to connect it by Bluetooth I have attach the picture's so you can see how they connect to the PC by the Bluetooth
The new Xbox Series controller connecting by using "Bluetooth LE XINPUT compatible input device" and the Xbox one Controller connect by using "Bluetooth XINPUT compatible input device"

I don't know if this makes any difference but you will know if if it does or not better than me :)

I will check again about the .cfg file if it will make any difference

and I have already use it in different PC's and the same issue will accrue

Thanks

Myself, I do not and can only offer suggestions. Maybe someone else reading does?

Outside of making sure MAME recognizes it (use -verbose to see the info found in detection) - you may try different JOYSTICKPROVIDER settings.
There are a few to choose from (not quite sure which is auto chosen - likely "winhybrid")
- winhybrid
- dinput
- xinput
