I may be misunderstanding your process, but it sounds like you are using both the WordPress editor and Elementor on the same pages, which is not going to work. If you design a page with Elementor, and then edit that page with the WordPress editor, you will lose the Elementor design, so this is something you should never do.
The media library contains the alt data. You can edit image alt tags in the media library, or when you insert an image with Elementor, fill in the alt field when you choose the image there. In any case, at whatever point you put the alt info (when you insert it via Elementor, or if you edit the image in media library), it’s still the process of adding/editing the alt data via the media library.

Thank you for responding. You understood correctly. So I also contacted elementor support, they explained that I would need to add an image alt attribute HTML code to the image. Would you by any chance be able to tell me how I would create that HTML tag? without it physically showing up on my web page?
Thanks 🙂
It is added in the media library. When you upload or edit the image, there are fields you can fill out, one of which is the alt tag. See https://i0.wp.com/ww.wp.xz.cn/support/files/2018/10/attachedfile-detail.png for a photo of the media library screen. This is just a normal WordPress function, not specific to Elementor.
