Drives mounted in fstab have changing /run/ directories

I have my external drives mounted through the fstab. Upon restarting my computer my drives have /run/ directories that change. They should be mounted to the /mnt/ directory. For example my mark down note app has it’s working directory to /mnt/backup and upon restart I have to enter /mnt/backup which changes to a /run/ directory. I have another drive with another program that does the same thing. Interestingly steam which has another drive of its own doesn’t have this problem. Steam uses my drive labeled as BFD. This seems to be a fedora issue because arch based distros don’t have this issue.
Here’s a copy of my fstab and blkid.

Is this a Flatpak app? If so then you might need to make sure it’s permissioned to read /mnt/backup.

Doh! I completely forgot about that. I already had asked this question. If I remember right, you even gave me the solution last time. My memory is getting worse.

Ill use flatseal to give permissions
