Unable to rotate images using EWWW with “Fix Image Rotation” plugin

Hi

I have a website that I upload pictures to from my phone.
When I take pictures holding my phone horizontally they uploads fine but when I take the pictures holding my phone vertically they turn side ways when the are uploaded.

I installed “Fix Image Rotation” and that issue (pictures uploading side ways) was fixed.
I then installed other plugins like:

* EWWW Image Optimizer
* iThemes Security
* User Role Editor
* WooCommerce
* WP Fastest Cache

and then the issue started again. I noticed that when I deactivate the Woocommerce plugin OR EWWW Image Optimizer (I would leave one of them activated), it worked fine again. However, I would like to use both of those plugins at the same time.

What are the possible causes and how could it be fixed?

Thanks
