b Can't request some items with Angels Smelting

Hello!
I wanted to use Angels mods with transport drones. I have quickly found out that it is impossible to request some of the basic items like iron plates as they are not displayed in the request window (screenshot with all tech unlocked https://monosnap.com/file/UCKulmVQqFfvL17FPbeHTqQiWpKop4). I'm missing also other items from Angel smelting in that tab (quite a lot of them). The twist is that I could order a different, wrong 'type' of iron plate that looks like added by transport drones and then modified by another mod. But that wrong 'type' of iron plate is not used anywhere else and can't produce it. Transport depot writer is able to pick the correct iron plate.
First I went to transport drones discord but only got a response that "Most likely the Angel Bob does something to the items in Data.Final-Fixes.lua". Then on Angels bug thread got a response that it isn't the case (link here https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=507886#p507886) and a possible, worst case fix suggestion.
Prepared a save to make it easier https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_oQlb0BoFmWUGd1Y0eXM7sC3I_Mpm7oL/view?usp=sharing and this is the correct plate that I can't request https://monosnap.com/file/ZoyqGYekwbOsuDd56DuYzNkc2YyOsA.

Could I ask for investigation? Thanks!

Got the same issue here. Planned my whole new smelting area with Transport Drones, just to find out I couldn't move any product.
I can confirm that at least the worst case fix suggestion works: simply opening Transport Drones.zip and adding "(?)angelsindustries" to the dependencies in info.json made every plate appear in game. I also had to change manually fuel to 'gas-methane' (I'm using Angel+Bob+Py) in mod settings after this change, or the fuel depot would not work.
