I've tried flipping it 180 as well. No luck so far. :|

It's because whatever app you are using to flip it is not removing the EXIF metadata, which the camera saves into the file. This contains data about what position the camera was in when the picture was taken. Some websites or apps use this data to flip the image when it's displayed. So if you want to have it right side up when you flip it, you either need a app that removes the EXIF, or one that modifies it.

Shot from my iphone, downloaded from Google Photos via Firefox on Windows 11, created this post using Firefox. I tried flipping it with Windows photo viewer earlier. I'll upload it to Imgur first since it strips Exif.
