    Storing the game externally and creating the symlink for the user data folder are two completely separate things. Merged your post into the symlink thread. Your issue is already covered, please read the opening post. If you don't know how to access the system settings for permissions please read this Apple help page https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mh15217/mac
