The error that you are getting here seems to indicate that Ansible can't find the PowerMax modules. You may want to review where Ansible is looking for the modules.
[root@lglbx090 ~]# ansible --version
ansible 2.10.1
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
configured module search path = [u'/root/.ansible/plugins/modules', u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible
executable location = /usr/bin/ansible
python version = 2.7.17 (default, Jun 5 2020, 03:38:32) [GCC 8.3.1 20191121 (Red Hat 8.3.1-5)]sassyrpri123

The `TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType` points more toward Ansible’s module discovery/import handling than PowerMax itself. I’d first verify the exact Ansible/Python combination and test with a clean virtual environment, then check whether the required PowerMax collection and its dependencies are installed on the execution host. Running the playbook with `-vvv` should also show which module Ansible is trying to resolve when `recursive_finder()` fails. If it works with a newer supported Ansible release, that would further indicate a compatibility issue with 2.10.2 rather than the PowerMax API.

From the "Ansible Modules for Dell EMC PowerMax (1.1) Product Guide", it appears that the latest Python version supported is 3.5.2.
Have you tried Python version 3.5.2 instead of 3.8?
