Bench Update git permission error

Hi everyone,
I’m facing this issue for a while. To summarize I’m trying to update ERPNext by doing the following steps:
Login to VM using SSH.
Swirch user to “frappe” user.
Navigate to frappe-bench folder.
execute “bench update” command.
The error shown below is presented in the terminal.

INFO:bench.utils:updating bench
INFO:bench.utils:git pull
error: cannot open .git/FETCH_HEAD: Permission denied

Traceback (most recent call last):

I searched for the cases and i stumbled on the linked also this one post with a suggested solution but with no avail unfortunately. Your help and support is highly appreciated in helping me resolve this issue.

Also below is the permissions for the three FETCH_HEAD files that the update command fails to access. Im really getting stuck in here and would highly appreciate any help. Thanks.

Seems directory permissions are not right

i checked all the linked posts which highlighted s permission issues in the directories and i tried to apply all the suggested solutions but unfortunately with no luck.

I have updated the post with more information regarding permissions for FETCH_HEAD file.
