qBittorrent - Permissions Denied.

Hello! When trying to get torrents to work, I keep getting the same error:

An I/O error occurred for torrent '<>' error: Permission denied
An I/O error occurred for torrent '<>' error: Permission denied


I'm not sure what I need to do to get this fixed. I'm trying to have my downloaded torrents saved on my secondary drive. Here's the lsblk output if it helps:

The one labelled

is my secondary disk. The one labelled
bazzite-nvidia-open_fedora
bazzite-nvidia-open_fedora

Any clue on what's going on, or how I can fix this?
