There is nothing you can do. If the mute switch does not mute the camera sound, then your iPhone was original designed at the factory for sale in a country that requires all cameras to make the shutter sound at all times under all conditions. Any smart phone or digital camera sold originally new at retail in Japan and S. Korea are required to be made that way.


It doesn’t matter where in the world the device subsequently ends up being used. If it was manufactured for original retail sale in one of those countries, it must be designed such that it always makes the shutter sound. Japan’s and S. Korea’s privacy and consumer laws require that for device made there, or imported by retailers there.
