Trying to see if there is a way to turn on image approvals when a user submits an image to the Images tab in a club or within a forum without also turning on post approvals. I basically just want to be able to check all images submitted to my site before they are live.

No, I'm afraid it's not possible, there is no such setting found in the IPS Suite installation. Unfortunately, you'll need to turn on the topic / reply approval for the forum where the images are being posted.

But you could always make it as a feature suggestion here ->

Could I ask why you wouldnt want to approve the post when there is an image?
