Images uploading from media going in wrong folder

Question

I am uploading images from Media section of WordPress. The images are uploading in 2016/12 instead of 2017/08. I checked for media setting in Settings > Media and Organise my uploads into month- and year-based folders option is selected.

Also when I create a new page and upload an image from there then it goes in 2017/08 folder.

Can anyone suggest me how I can fix it. I searched for this and didn't found solution for images issue uploading from Media section.

Thanks in advance.

The date of the folder corresponds to the date the post was created as opposed to the date the media is uploaded.
