I had to tweak the plugin:
dw_social_feed.php under (approx line 560)
$item_source_text = isset($_POST[$item_type.'_item_source_text']) ? $_POST[$item_type.'_item_source_text'] : '';
add the following:
if (in_array($item_type, array("instagram", "flickr"))) $item_useimage = 1;
As well it was saving Instagram photos overwriting already downloaded images, additional tweak:
dw_social_feed_class.php
approx line 1069
change
$image_name = time() . '.' . $ext;
to
$image_name = uniqid() . '.' . $ext;
