Thank you @amboutwe for your quick response, let me question another way, my client need a a canonical link thats paged, its working fine on the archive pages ( https://lepaya.com/en/category/about-us/page/2/ ) but not on my custom template with use of paginate_links ( https://lepaya.com/en/articles/page/2/ ) i saw some other questions related to this and they pointed to the wpseo link, so that what i tried, thanks again for your time

To be honest Yoast make a lot of things hard to accomplish, [competitor] make things way easy I am not advertising for [competitor] but I have suffered a lot for making the canonical URLs work and still cannot accomplish this, I have removed the custom made pagination and I used Built-in wordpress pagination by using this function the_posts_pagination but I still cannot see any canonical URLs in the category page (Archive page) from archive.php, I don't know what to do Yoast didn't explain that much about the topic....
