AMP pages appear in Google Desktop search results

Question

I'm using WordPress on my website. To add the AMP pages to my website I use the official WordPress AMP plugin and another plugin called "AMP for WP". I've been using it for 3 months now. Recently, I discovered a Non-AMP page while searching Google from Laptop (Not mobile device). I checked the page source and found that the rel-canonical tag is properly set to the non-AMP page. I don't know why it appeared in the desktop search.

To see the example google this "how to change Author box gravatar size" and you'll find the AMP page and the non-AMP page doesn't appear.

Where is the problem?!

It most likely was designed outside of the Wordpress environment.

We design our AMP pages outside of the Wordpress environment and the canonical tag is just like a normal page.

In short, our amp pages self contained and are desktop & cell phone ready.

Only one canonical tag is needed then. (no use of the rel-canonical tag)

$strCanonicalUrl ="https://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . parse_url( 
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH );

...

<title >This is the title of the AMP page</title>
<meta name="description" content="This is the description of the AMP page">
<link rel="canonical" href="<?= $strCanonicalUrl ?>" />
<meta property="og:locale" content="en_US" />
