Thanks for sharing more information. We picked the first three images that appear in search results to test.

1. https://www.svezaimunitet.com/prodavnica/sinefarm-sirup-protiv-zatvora-cololax-100-ml/. See image
2. https://www.svezaimunitet.com/prodavnica/erba-vita-lass-b-sirup-za-decu-150-ml/. See image
3. https://www.svezaimunitet.com/prodavnica/natural-wealth-chelated-zinc-10-mg-5-1-gratis-pakovanje-6-x-100-tableta/. See image

The images in search results match what appears on the product pages. Please share specific products whose images in search results do not match what you have uploaded as the product image.

yes only images on stock match rest dont (also that images do not rank if you type exact keyword even u add brand and website)

try these 3

We examined the three products (https://www.svezaimunitet.com/prodavnica/terranova-antioxidant-nutrient-complex-50-kapsula/, https://www.svezaimunitet.com/prodavnica/pharmanova-duobiotic-probiotik-prebiotik-10-kapsula/ and https://www.svezaimunitet.com/prodavnica/natural-wealth-b-complex-vitamina-100-tableta/) and we can confirm that Yoast SEO plugin is outputting the correct og:image, same as what is on the product page. In this case, Yoast SEO is working correctly and generating the right image with the right data for Google to use.

What this suggests is that either Google is confused or that Google is relying on some outdated information stuck in its cache. We suggest the following actions:

1. Does clearing your caching from your theme, plugin, server, CDN like CloudFlare or browser resolve the issue? If you are not sure how to clear caching from theme/plugin please speak to those authors. If you want to clear cache from the server, please speak to your host provider. To clear the cache from a browser use this guide: https://yoast.com/help/how-to-clear-my-browsers-cache/

2. Use Inspect any URL to force Google to update the index. This guide explains more: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/fetch-as-googlebot/.

3. If the issue fails to resolve then we suggest contacting Google for more information as to why Google is choosing to use an inaccurate image when in fact it knows what image to use. You may contact Google by making a post on their forums: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/webmasters

Ok i did everything you said still no success.
About 3rd part 2 same topics are already opened with same issue and there is no straight answer. Strange thing is this:
https://postimg.cc/nMTr0X1f
https://postimg.cc/ygc9D7qY
On first ss we can see that google showing positive results with image scan even shows on graphic.
On second screen shoot, when you hit inspect url button on any of already crawled images by google it shows that image is not in google index.

One more thing is this, when i go to WP Media and enter to some image this is the link https://www.svezaimunitet.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Inpharm-ChirocistIN-D-Chiro-Inositol-15-kesica.jpg
But when i hit view button this is the permalink
https://www.svezaimunitet.com/?attachment_id=20532

Also when i try to upload some new image it goes like i added tag not image. like on example https://www.svezaimunitet.com/crna-kohos/ (i deleted image just showed link example)

Why every permlink image is changed to attachment id, maybe this is what confusing google. I submited yoast xml sitemap within and later i disable that function but attachment sitemaps are still there.

I also must mention in bing there is no images at all like they are unavailable.
https://postimg.cc/fShBqH75
which is not the case for rest of website
https://postimg.cc/fVb5PSX4
and also bing added pdf files as well.

Also i found that couple other CMS websites not only wordpress have this issue as you can see here:
https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/576651-wrong-images-are-display-when-i-search-my-site-with-google-image/

Does yoast have any issue with csv based on different languages with special characters?

I must ask for your help since this is not common issue and there is no universal answer.

@noxext

Thanks for the additional details. You identified multiple queries in your email and we’ve responded to them below.?

On second screen shoot, when you hit inspect url button on any of already crawled images by google it shows that image is not in google index.

Let us clarify that the Inspect URL tool is specifically designed to inspect web pages—not other file types such as PDFs, images, and videos. The output you got from the image inspection via this tool, therefore, was expected.

But when i hit view button this is the permalink
https://www.svezaimunitet.com/?attachment_id=20532

With pretty permalinks disabled I presume you get an image URL like domain.com/index.php?attachment_id=205 but that should not be the core cause here.

I submited yoast xml sitemap within and later i disable that function but attachment sitemaps are still there. https://postimg.cc/yDF6wWzP

Actually, we don’t recommend anyone to enable the media (attachment) sitemap as this could lead to a thin content issue in the search results. Media / attachment URL: what to do with them?

I also must mention in bing there is no images at all like they are unavailable. https://postimg.cc/fShBqH75

We were able to reproduce this issue. To confirm, have you submitted your website on Bing? If not, please do so and verify the issue again.

Does yoast have any issue with csv based on different languages with special characters?

Unfortunately, we have no bug being reported yet.

Having said that, only thing we can see and confirm at the moment is by searching via Google image search for your website site:https://www.svezaimunitet.com/ we do see image getting index from your website that Google has find from crawling the link; basically no technical issues/errors from Yoast SEO plugin. Meantime, you might be interested in checking these resources for image optimization on your website and product pages:
