There is some very crude logic I see in the plugin whereby it does try to insert what "it" considered to be the cover. It is looking for an opf spine item with id='titlepage' which if found will insert after that.

Is there a more reliable/alternative/additional way of identifying the cover from the spine? If there is a quick win on this I am happy to make a change, whereas if this requires heading back into the weeds on epub structures and files then it is not something I have time to tackle at the moment.
You could keep the logic and if it fail to find id="titlepage", place the jacket as the third file. In most cases, you have the cover followed by the title page. In some cases, it may not be optimal, but it's better then were it's landing now.
