Hello, image sitemap should be added to search console. for example http://prntscr.com/dx3b5w
I’ve done that but images are not being indexed. If you look at your example 2285 images were Submitted but only 386 were actually Indexed. Why aren’t all 2285 Indexed? Right now only 6% of images submitted can be found on Google.

Plugin scans each image, but is indexed which are placed directly on your website. All of these third party images will not be indexed.
In my case, all images are on my site shortprayers.us I don’t use third party images.

First of all, give it some time. You said it’s been jsut a week.
Also, FYI, if even something is submitted to Google not gives 100% chance to be indexed, and even if indexed not 100% it is cached by Google.
The more links you have to your site, there are more chances to get Google Crawlers scan your content (images).
Also it might help, if you will use your images not only on your single (post) pages. You can try to use them as the part of your post excerpt (as thumbnails) or create the page with collection of all your images.
Also, you can try to post your images to Pinterest using the URL to posts, this way you will get links + google bot will get to your site faster and index the rest of your content.
My original post was 4 weeks ago not 1 week ago. I’ve already got images on Instragram, Facebook and a collection page on my site:

I do appreciate your feedback and will try to build more links.
