Cant add btrfs storage in steam

Im trying to mount my second drive (btrfs) and that works just fine for the system with "noatime,lazytime,commit=120,discard=async,compress-force=zstd:3,space_cache=v2,nofail" extra options from the docs page.
However it does not work to add this drive in steam, Searching I found several people saying steam needs to be mounted with execution permissions for it to work. So I tried to add ",exec" or ",exec,rw" to the end of bazzite suggested options but none has fixed the issue.

Starting steam from the terminal I can see there is a permission issue, I did run the following permission command "sudo chown $USER:$USER /var/mnt/storage" from the docs page.
sh: line 1: /mnt/storage/SteamLibrary/.steam_exec_test.sh: Permission denied
Failed system("/mnt/storage/SteamLibrary/.steam_exec_test.sh") in execute test: 32256
