Actually, I tried to update the timestamp fields and used both 'onAfter' and 'onBefore' scripts in the robust transform, but the timestamps are still updating as today's date.
 
    target.setValue("sys_created_by", source.u_sys_created_by);
    target.setValue("sys_created_on", source.u_sys_created_on);
    target.setValue("sys_updated_by", source.u_sys_updated_by);
    target.setValue("sys_updated_on", source.u_updated);
    target.autoSysFields(false);
    target.update();

not recommended to set OOTB system date/time fields during transformation

Do Not Target System Fields (sys_created_on, sys_domain etc) in Field Maps in Transform Maps
