Angular 9 | Facebook share button not displaying image

I have an Angular 9 SSR application - http://www.dosgamesworld.com/

In every page I have a Share Facebook button.

The issue i'm experience is that the og:image is not recognized correctly by Facebook for most of the pages.

All the images in the application are 320px X 200px.

Also the meta looks correct for all pages.

For this page it does work well - http://www.dosgamesworld.com/game/alleycat

     <meta property="fb:app_id" content="1596858517136240">
    <meta property="og:url" content="http://www.dosgamesworld.com/game/alleycat">
    <meta property="og:type" content="website">
    <meta property="og:title" content="DOS Games World - Alley Cat">
    <meta property="og:description" content="Alley Cat is a single player platform game. The player has to assume the role of a cat, which is outside of a house and has to go through a certain track, near ">
    <meta property="og:image" content="http://www.dosgamesworld.com/assets/images/alleycat.png">
  <meta property="og:image:type" content="image/png">
  <meta property="og:image:width" content="320">
  <meta property="og:image:height" content="200">

enter image description here

BUT, for other pages it does not work: for example http://www.dosgamesworld.com/game/pop

(meta looks correct, but the actual share is missing the photo)

  <meta property="fb:app_id" content="1596858517136240">
    <meta property="og:url" content="http://www.dosgamesworld.com/game/pop">
    <meta property="og:type" content="website">
    <meta property="og:title" content="DOS Games World - Prince of Persia">
    <meta property="og:description" content="Prince of Persia is one of the most famous and entertaining games of all time. The game is a fantasy cinematic platformer, which takes place in Ancient Persia. ">
    <meta property="og:image" content="http://www.dosgamesworld.com/assets/images/pop.png">
  <meta property="og:image:type" content="image/png">
  <meta property="og:image:width" content="320">
  <meta property="og:image:height" content="200">

enter image description here

When I look into the facebook developer tools i see the following error: Provided og:image URL, http://www.dosgamesworld.com/assets/images/pop.png was not valid because it did not meet the minimum size constraint of 200px by 200px.

Ahh got it, look carefully. Open the pop image url in browser. Its name is pop.png but its actually an jpeg image

Change Meta of pop from

<meta property="og:image:type" content="image/png">

To

<meta property="og:image:type" content="image/jpg"> or <meta property="og:image:type" content="image/jpeg">

OR

Change pop image to actual png.
