There are 2 kinds of redirect going on in the file, one is the part for the SEO friendly URLs but this site existed before and has transferred to OpenCart so the there are individual Google link redirects going on as well.
I managed to get the google redirects working by deleting the QSA from the last Redirect rule but this had other ramifications – the query strings for which page of products the user is on would then be ignored and they would be stuck on page 1.
Is there a way I can get the google links redirected to the appropriate pages and have the SEO friendly URLs on once they’re in the site.
Thank you, see below for a slightly butchered htaccess file

P.s i've added a space in the url's below in case of the forum rules.
