systemd and screen permission contradicting
i have written a systemd service and hope it to run a screen command on boot, it works fine if the executor is root, but if i set it to another user, this shows up in journalctl: screen[17230]: Directory '/run/screens' must have mode 777.
it is definitely fine to set the directory to 777 but if i want to screen into the session, screen gives me this error: Directory '/run/screens' must have mode 755.
i tried to set /run/screens to 777 before the service starts and set it back to 755 after the service starts, by writing another 2 services, but it results in the service exiting because of the permission change, can anyone help me with this?
thank you for reading this!

What does your service look like and how do you start it?
