I actually had this exact same issue moving some photos a few months back. For images in Facebook proper you have Facebook Data Image Exif Tool that can sort things, but that doesn't do Messenger photos.
After not being able to find a solution, I got working on making a tool to do it with a mate of mine and we (well, mostly him) created a similar tool that takes re-adds the metadata into Facebook Messenger photos; Facebook Messenger Exif.
