I know its an old post, but it still helped me. I had the additional problem of several blocks of RewriteRules:

##
## White listed folders
##
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(phplist|phplist/.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/.well-known/*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/storage/app/uploads/.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/storage/app/media/.*
...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/modules/.*/(assets|resources)/.*
RewriteRule !^index.php index.php [L,NC]

##
## Block all PHP files, except index
##
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(phplist|phplist/.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} \.php$
RewriteRule !^index.php index.php [L,NC]

##
## Standard routes
##
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(phplist|phplist/.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

and had to add my RewriteCond before every block...
