IEEE Access moving the image to be at bottom of the page

Question

I am using IEEE Access template and I want to have my figure to be at the bottom of the page instead of the top, but using hbp the image goes to the last page of the document like so.

Here you have the MWE:

\documentclass{ieeeaccess}
\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{enumitem,amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\newlist{todolist}{itemize}{2}
\setlist[todolist]{label=$\square$}
\usepackage{pifont}
\newcommand{\cmark}{\ding{51}}%
\newcommand{\xmark}{\ding{55}}%
\newcommand{\done}{\rlap{$\square$}{\raisebox{2pt}{\large\hspace{1pt}\cmark}}%
\hspace{-2.5pt}}
\newcommand{\wontfix}{\rlap{$\square$}{\large\hspace{1pt}\xmark}}
%%

I'm not sure how to add the .cls file in here, but the provided link should work.

Welcome to tex.se. Why not use [b] option (b=bottom)? [htp] means, try here, then top, then next page. — Cicada, Jun 03 '20 at 10:43

Using [b] throws the image at the bottom of the document (last page of the document), meaning that all the images will be placed afterwards. I can't make it smaller as I want it to have that size (this is a dummy image). Anything that is not [!htp] makes the images go to the end of the document. — Guilherme Theis, Jun 03 '20 at 11:01
using htp explicitly prevents the figure going to the bottom so if you want it to go to the bottom you need to include b or better don't use the option at all. — David Carlisle, Jun 03 '20 at 12:34
@DavidCarlisle -- Read the question again. No t; it says hbp.. — barbara beeton, Jun 03 '20 at 15:44
@GuilhermeTheis -- Your question text doesn't agree with the code. Near the top, the text says hbp, but in the code, near the bottom, there are three lines with [!htp]. This is confusing, and a trap for people who read the text more carefully than the code. — barbara beeton, Jun 03 '20 at 17:56

This solution loads dblfloatfix to allow bottom floats. The big problem is that twocolumn floats have to be created on the previous page.

It wasn't clear in what order you wanted the captions to appear, so I assumed the worst case and used \setcounter{figure}{...} to manually set the caption numbers.
