Can't remove android permissions on UE 5.3

I have updated my project to UE 5.3 cause there was an update to swappy which made my game crash sometimes when switching levels. And now this version added 3 permissions that I can’t get rid of with no method, UPL or RequirementsManifestOverride.
Before this version I used UPL and it got me rid of every permission I wanted out.

This is the code that gets added now in the AndroidManifest.XML

In case anyone is in the same situation here’s what I did:

I’m using admob goodies plugin and the plugin’s UPL was asking for these permissions, even though in my UPL I asked for the permissions to be removed they were still added from the plugin’s UPL.

I had to delete the permissions from the plugin’s UPL and rebuild the plugin.

The developer of admob goodies added these permissions in 5.3 version. I have talked with him and he said he might delete the permissions on future updates.
But for now the only way is to rebuild the plugin.
