Deleted the symlink, tried to delete with rpm:

error: package nagiosxi-wmic-5.5.7-1.el7.x86_64.rpm is not installed

Then I tried remove with yum:
root@server:/rpm $ yum remove nagiosxi-wmic-5.5.7

Looks like it removes the NagiosXI also... see package marked red. Cancelled the uninstall.

Tried a reinstall after I deleted the symlink, it only created the symlink again.

This is really bizarre because the RPM shows that it should install the below files, neither of which is a symlink

This may be the best bet, as I cannot see any reason why you would be getting the results you are seeing

Hi, I solved the problem, extracted the wmic and winexe files from the nagiosxi-wmic-5.5.7-1.el7.x86_64.rpm (since this is my version atm) and copied them to /usr/lib/ and added execute.
Strange problem, but the plugin and wizard works as normal now.

Glad to hear you solved the problem!
