Having trouble with folder permissions on Linux (lemmy.ca)

I'm very new and I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but is there any way to set folder (and future subfolder) permissions on Ubuntu?

I use the Arrs and new folders are made automatically when something completes, but I constantly have to use Plex to optimize my videos before they'll play. Unfortunately, the new folders get locked when they're made.

I'm not sure what I've done to my setup, but I'd love some help if anyone is willing.

You can also add a "sticky group" permission to a folder using the plus modifier

chmod g+s /path/to/dir

Or for everything under the directory

chmod -R g+s /path/to/dir

Amazing. Thank you. I'm a little afraid of making sweeping changes so having two options to research is great.
