hello everyone, I'm having problems excluding the .exe files on my mac, when I had windows I could do it without a problem, but now that I switched to macOS the same files won't let me get them out of synchronization, that is, it doesn't take the extension of the files.

Unfortunately, your image does not show the extension of the file at stake, nor does it show the Exclude Filter.
You can FFS show the Include and Exclude Filter by clicking the red funnel-icon mid-above the left and right pairs. If you want to exclude all exe-files, the Exclude Filter should contain a line
*.exe
if such line is not there, you can add it manually.
I don't know the Mac, but your top image suggests the file(s) at stake may have a .exec extension.
In the latter case, your Exclude Filter should contain a line
*.exec

Looks like "Unix executable file"s have no extension, therefore can't be excluded easily
