Reproduction steps

1. Take a live photo on an iPhone
2. Make an edit to the live photo, such as a 180 degree rotation
3. Backup the edited live photo to immich via the immich iOS app
4. See that the exported photo on immich will have the 180 degree rotation applied in the still portion, however the motion portion will have the original rotation.

This is a really interesting issue. Can you confirm that it is still happening? If so, can you send me a sample still/motion pair that is rotated (as a zip file) that I can test with?
