RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

You've put this rule in the wrong place. It needs to go at the start, immediately after the RewriteEngine directive. By placing it at the end, after the rewrite to index.php, any request for the www subdomain will be redirected to index.php (during the second round of processing).

As a general rule, external redirects should always go before internal rewrites.

You should also consider implementing an HTTP to HTTPS redirect.
