Woocommerce YITH Product Filter not working

In WooCommerce have been able to successfully make out of stock products to be displayed only on product category archives pages (so not in shop archive pages) with this answer code: 

add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_query_meta_query', 'shop_only_instock_products', 10, 2 );
function shop_only_instock_products( $meta_query, $query ) {
    // Only on shop archive pages
    if( is_admin() || is_search() || ! is_shop() ) return $meta_query;

    $meta_query[] = array(
        'key'     => '_stock_status',
        'value'   => 'outofstock',
        'compare' => '!='
    );
    return $meta_query;
}

But I am using YITH WooCommerce Ajax Product Filter plugin, enabled and working on my shop pages.

The problem that I have now is when I want to filter out of stock products on product category archives pages, I get no filtered results and all products disappear.

I have tried to change the priority of the hook decreasing it first and then increasing it too, without any success.

I have tried adding the following filter:

add_filter ('yith_wcan_use_wp_the_query_object', '__return_true');

But it's not working either.

How can I solve this issue? Any help on this will be appreciated

I was looking around and figure out that the problem is in the thing that YITH Product Filter, when used on category page, redirects to a shop page and since the shop page has out-of-stock products excluded, it shows no results.

URL structure of Shop page without the filter:

domain.com/shop

URL structure of Shop page with applied filter:

domain.com/shop?filter_watch-gender=gender-men&query_type_watch-gender=or

URL structure of the category page that shows out-of-stock products, without applied filter:

domain.com/product-category/our-collection/

URL structure of the category page with applied filter, the same one that was applied on the Shop page:

domain.com/shop?product_cat=our-collection&source_id=25&source_tax=product_cat&filter_watch-gender=gender-men&query_type_watch-gender=or

URL structure that should be once the filter is applied on the category page:

domain.com/product-category/our-collection?filter_watch-gender=gender-men&query_type_watch-gender=or

I've tested this last URL structure on the category page with out-of-stock products, and it showed me the desired results, it has narrowed the list of products based on the applied filter.

I don't know if this can be useful to someone who might know how to help me :)
