You can add the additions header as below inside body tag to the respective layout XML file, In your case cms_index_index.xml is the file.
<referenceContainer name="head.additional">
<block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="head.rel.canonical" template="Vensdor_Module::template.phtml" />
</referenceContainer>
In the template.phtml you can add canonical.
<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.example.com/" />
Add the following in the admin part
Goto Content > Design > Select the homepage ( per shop if you've more than one ) and Open up Design then in the block Layout Update xml write
> <head>
> <link rel="canonical" src="<website home page adress>" src_type="url"/>
> </head>
Reindex && clear cache
