use Drupal\Core\Ajax\AfterCommand;
public function ajaxHandler(array $form, FormStateInterface $form_state) {
$response = new AjaxResponse();
$afterCommand = new AfterCommand(
'#item', '<div class="note">Added after</div>'
);
$response->addCommand($afterCommand);
return $response;
}

(new Htmx())
->post($formUrl)
->select('#after-fragment') // element to insert
->target('#item') // target element
->swap('afterend') // insert after target
->applyTo($form['trigger']);Documentation hx-swap
