Where is my logic flawed (IQ Test question)

I solved this IQ test questions and later found my answer was wrong. I selected F when the correct answer is B. I do understand how B can be an answer, but in my experience and understanding of iq tests, any pattern that you find should lead you to the correct answer, because there is only one correct answer. So there has to be either something flawed with my reasoning, or with the test(question) itself. Help me figure out which one it is.

Here is my reasoning:

In each row and column, same rule applies, there will be 1 black, 1 striped and 1 white object. Therefore, the correct answer will have the white object, which leaves A,B or F as the possible answers.

In each row and column, same rule applies, there will be 1 facing up, and 2 facing down. I repeat, this is true for every row and every column. Therefore, we are left with F as the only possible answer as it is the one facing DOWN.

I did conclude B before checking possible answers (I only say that to motivate that the logic here is not constructed, ex post reasoning).

My thinking was that the only rotational pattern maintained seems to be: One clockwise tick as we go from top to bottom.

And the only shading pattern maintained seems to be: white -> lined -> black -> white -> lined etc. as we go from left to right.
