The Camera Uploads feature will not upload a photo that it has already uploaded, even if you turn it off and on again. The only way for that to happen is if you contact Support and ask them to reset your Camera Uploads. This will result in ALL photos and videos on your device to be uploaded again when you activate Camera Uploads. The only other option is to manually upload your photos.
I'd suggest turning off the feature, deleting everything in your Camera Uploads folder (or just move it all elsewhere as a backup), and then contacting Support to request that it be reset.
