here is the hierarchy that need to create in XML
Example:
MyFile-

XML

<Meta>
 <Image>
   <PNG>
       <URL>
   <PNG>
       <URL>
   <PNG>
       <URL>
   <PNG>
       <URL>
   <PNG>
       <URL>

my current implementation:

[xml] $file = Get-content C:\MyFile.xml
$Parent =$file.Meta
$Child = $file.CreateElement("Image",$Parent.NamespaceURI)
$Parent.AppendChild($Child)
$file.Save("C:\MyFile.xml")

for($j=0; $j -lt 10; $j++){
	$ParentNode =$file.Meta["Image"]
	$ChildNode = $file.CreateElement("PNG",$Parent.NamespaceURI)
	$ParentNode.AppendChild($ChildNode)
	$file.Save("C:\MyFile.xml")
   
	$ParentSubNode =$file.Meta.Image["PNG"]
	$SubChildNode = $metafile.CreateElement("URL",$ParentNode.NamespaceURI)
	$ParentSubNode.AppendChild($SubChildNode)
	$file.Save("C:\MyFile.xml")
    }

The above code is crating the xml as;

XML

<Meta>
 <Image>
   <PNG>
       <URL>
       <URL>
       <URL>
       <URL>
   <PNG>
   <PNG>
   <PNG>

*the node names should not be changed with suffix 0,1,2..etc

It would appear that all your SubChildNodes are being added to the first PNG node, rather than each one in turn. I have not been able to test this, but perhaps something like:

JavaScript

$ParentNode =$file.Meta["Image"]
for($j=0; $j -lt 10; $j++){
    $ChildNode = $file.CreateElement("PNG",$Parent.NamespaceURI)
    $ParentNode.AppendChild($ChildNode)
    $SubChildNode = $metafile.CreateElement("URL",$ParentNode.NamespaceURI)
    $ChildNode.AppendChild($SubChildNode)
}
$metafile.Save("MyFile.xml")
