Steam disk write error on Debian 12 (lemm.ee)

When trying to install games on an ext4 external drive I get a disk write error from steam. Whenever I reset the permissions on the drive to both read and write, not just read, steam immediately reverts that whenever it's opened.

if it's a dedicated FS, can you maybe force the permissions with mount options, ACL or directory setgid?
