Description

## Environment

- Android OS version: 13, 14, 15, Not related to any specific android version
- Devices affected: OnePlus Nord CE2 Lite, Nothing Phone 1, etc.
- Maps SDK Version: 11.10.3

## Observed behavior and steps to reproduce

When rotating the map the icons displayed on the map using symbol layer are displaced from the original position and it looks odd. This wasn't the behaviour when using the Mapbox V10 SDK. I have attached the video for your reference

## Expected behavior

It should be anchored on the same location while rotating the map

Research direction

Reproduce the displacement on Android 13–15 with Mapbox Maps SDK 11.10.3 using a symbol layer, and compare it with the reported Mapbox V10 behavior and attached video. Trace the symbol-layer rotation handling; done means icons remain anchored to their original map locations while the map rotates.
