Describe the bug

When I restore from a backup, after logging back in and going to the "Sites List" page, there is an error:

nginx: [crit] pread() "/etc/nginx/modules-enabled/50-mod-http-image-filter.conf" failed (21: Is a directory)
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
exit status 1

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Go to nginx-ui webui
Click on Backup -> Backup -> Create Backup. Then I download the backup file and copied the security token.
Create new nginx-ui instance then choose "Restore from Backup" -> upload the backup file and paste security token.
Login to new nginx-ui instance
Go to Manage Sites/Sites List -> Error

Expected behavior
No error. All file in folder /etc/nginx/modules-enabled/ should be file, not directory.

Screenshots

Server OS: Ubuntu 22.04
Server Arch: x86
