I don't have recent experience with mybb, but by googling I think you should install an extension on this mybb forum that creates a sitemap file so that it updates the sitemap dynamically and automatically.
You could do it manually for small websites, but forums change, grow, let's say you add sections etc you should manually update the thing everytime...
A quick google in the mybb community website shows me there are two modules as option:
pick one.
the first one does just the sitemap and easier to setup and seems more recently updated,
the second one do a lot of more complex stuff, such as meta tags, redirects, error pages, has a github with more detail but more old etc
After having a publicly accessible sitemap file then you must link it in the robots.txt like I wrote in the previous post and google will find it next it will crawl.
But I suggest also to submit the thing to google through their "google search console" tool so that happens faster.
a simple guide on that:

Agree that the issue seems to happen only with google. They've become extremely picky through the years.
Happened to me too in past and had to submit the thing.
Provided there are no other issues like htaccess redirects, wrong file permissions, half hacked mods, or stuff like that.
