I had the same issue with this plugin. I thought it was only this plugin that didn’t work.
I downloaded the Simple 301 redirection plugin for my site and the problem still persisted with the pagination. So I did some googling and found this plugin:
https://www.htmlremix.com/projects/category-pagination-wordpress-plugin
I downloaded that plugin and installed it, and everything works fine now!
I think if you are using Advanced Permalinks, this pagination fix plugin should work as well! If not, then just use Simple 301 Redirection plugin with the pagination fix.
