"GPS Longitude Ref" and "GPS Position" should point to "West"
What generated that .xmp? macOS 10.15-14 Catalina - Sonoma Photos.app outputs such nonstandard GPS in a .xmp that puts western and southern locations to the other side of the globe.
The best workaround is to fix it with:
exiftool -P -overwrite_original -ext xmp -XMP-exif:All= -tagsFromFile @ -XMP-exif:All '-XMP-exif:GPSLongitude<${XMP-exif:GPSLongitude#}${XMP-exif:GPSLongitudeRef#}' '-XMP-exif:GPSLatitude<${XMP-exif:GPSLatitude#}${XMP-exif:GPSLatitudeRef#}' .

That XMP is written incorrectly. The idiots at CIPA got rid of the reference directions in their EXIF for XMP specification, which (predictably) has let to implementation errors such as this.

I've seen this! I just didn't know the cause. I totally believe you, but do you have a reference for this?
Page 19 in the EXIF for XMP specification (https://www.cipa.jp/std/documents/e/DC-X010-2017.pdf#page=23).

Edit: That was the older 2.31 specification. The current 2.32 may be downloaded here (https://www.cipa.jp/std/documents/download_e.html?DC-010-2020_E). Still page 19.

Sheesh... Yup, definitely will cause problems. Thank you.
