How to display first gallery image, not product variant, on product page?

Topic summary

Goal: On a Shopify product page (Impact theme v4.0.3), show the first image from the product gallery by default, instead of the first image tied to the initially selected product variant.

Context: No code or settings shared yet; the request focuses on changing the default image behavior when the product page loads.

Latest update: A responder requested the store URL to review the implementation and provide targeted guidance.

Status: Unresolved. Next step is for the requester to share the store URL so specific theme files/sections (likely product template and image/variant JS behavior) can be examined. No solutions or workarounds have been proposed yet.

How can you make it so that when you go to the product page you see the first image in the galleries, but not the first image of the product variant?
