It looks like you got this sorted out in your other thread; but just to close the loop I did test on my FreeBSD 12.2 RELEASE VM here and did not see the issue. A kdump of the ktrace shows: 1049 Plex Media Server CALL openat(AT_FDCWD,0x80c75c480,0xe01<O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_EXCL>,0100644<S_IRUS…

I don’t see this issue my side, the files are created with -rw-r--r-- maybe there’s a umask issue here?

Actually the problem is a lot worse it seems. Plex is recreating any missing file with 0555. I ran a ktrace and see that Plex is sending 0555 masks to the FreeBSD OS, when opening file handles on FreeBSD. Opening yet another bug report.

What FreeBSD release are you running? If I get a chance I’d like to try to repro here.
