Add this line of code immediately after the AddPicture line of code above...

ActiveSheet.Shapes(ActiveSheet.Shapes.Count).Rotation = 90

where you would put the number of degrees counterclockwise that you wanted to rotate the picture in place of my example 90 degree number. Alternately, as the rotation will affect the placement for a non-square picture, you can omit the placement part of your original code, rotate the placed picture, then set the top and left properties after the rotation.

You misinterpreted what I meant by "immediately after the AddPicture line of code"... those line continuation you have are all part of the same line of code. Specifically, this is an entire line of code...
Code:
  ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddPicture( _
    Filename:="C:\Users\dovi.dovi-PC\Desktop\ads bh\IMG-7042.jpg", _
    LinkToFile:=msoFalse, savewithdocument:=msoCTrue, _
    Left:=1200, Top:=0, Width:=350, Height:=604 _
  ).Rotation = 180
If was immediately after that that you were supposed to put the code I posted.
Code:
  ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddPicture( _
    Filename:="C:\Users\dovi.dovi-PC\Desktop\ads bh\IMG-7042.jpg", _
    LinkToFile:=msoFalse, savewithdocument:=msoCTrue, _

  ).Rotation = 180
  ActiveSheet.Shapes(ActiveSheet.Shapes.Count).Rotation = 90
