Flatpak permission issues

Lately, I've been having some issues with running most of my Flatpak apps.
It seems to be related to Vulkan and the inability to create files in /usr (which it shouldn't).

I've tried repairing flatpak, tried reinstalling apps with system or user with no luck. I tried rolling back to F40 with no luck then rebased to stable again. Everything should be up to date (using
ujust upgrade
ujust upgrade
). I've tried researching with no luck, I might have to wipe and install bazzite again but I hope I don't have to go that route.

Here's an example where protontricks fails to run:
