Radio button located inside an iframe. To be able to click it you should swith to iframe first:

driver.switch_to.frame('select')
Radio = driver.find_element_by_xpath("""//input[@value="monthlyF"]""")
Radio.click()

How did you get that as XPath. My XPath was different

I just write my own while I guess you get it with browser dev console or other tool. You need to improve your skills in writing your own relative XPath expressions as using absolute XPath that online tool generated for you is bad practice...
