.htaccess - 301 redirect of pages not working opencart

Question

direct some pages to the homepage of opencart.

For examle: https://mywebsitenamehere.com/index.php?route=product/manufacturer

301 redirect to: https://mywebsitenamehere.com/

I would usually add something like this:

Redirect 301 /index.php?route=product/manufacturer https://mywebsitenamehere.com/

Snippet of my .htaccess:

# SEO URL Settings
RewriteEngine On
# If your opencart installation does not run on the main web folder make sure you folder it does run in ie. / becomes /shop/

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=extension/feed/google_sitemap [L]
RewriteRule ^googlebase.xml$ index.php?route=extension/feed/google_base [L]
RewriteRule ^system/storage/(.*) index.php?route=error/not_found [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*.(ico|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|js|css)

RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]

Thank you!!
