Hi, I have to connect 2 switches with 10 G fiber. One of the switches only supports X2 transceiver and the other end switch only support Xenpak connector. Is there any problem to do this connection?

X2 and XENPAK optics differ in form factor only. You can connect an X2 to a XENPAK as long as the optics are of the same transceiver type.
