Steam refuses to download games onto second or third drives

Hello everyone!
I’m very new to linux in general and manjaro, and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong here. I mounted both additional drives in fstab with exec permissions enabled, and I can read/write to them with dolphin no problem. I even tried chmod 777 on both disks, and flatseal to allow access to my mounted directories so my flatpak installed steam had access to the files. However, after reserving space, the download stops and reads “disk write error” on the steamapp. Launching from terminal and looking at error codes give this

but I’m not sure where to go from here. Any advice?

… don’t use a flatpak but the AUR version of steam?
The sandboxing might cause permission issues.

I have never used either steam or any flatpak version of any program …

Or rather use the repo version of steam … AUR probably not necessary.

Make sure the second drive is not NTFS
