Autoran SSl for subdomain in the same server throws permission denied error

[manikarunachalam]

This is the error I got from ran auto ssl. In my server two directories public_html and dev/public_html inside /home/*******/ which maps two domains. dev is my subdomain. Main domain already have ssl installed. this subdomain has another new ssl specifically for subdomain.
DNS DCV: The DNS query to “_cpanel-dcv-test-record.**********.com” for the DCV challenge returned no “TXT” record that matches the value “_cpanel-dcv-test-record=soatBnqKqM8I_TZmkSYU3...”.; HTTP DCV: The system failed to create the temporary file “/home/********/dev/public_html/.well-known/pki-validation/8525B6FFE9FBEC....txt” because of an error: Permission denied

That specific error indicates the text file wasn't able to be created in the directory due to a permissions error what are the permissions of /home/dev/public_html?

Permission of public_html to 755 with my cpanel user as owner.

'drwxr-xr-x 16 user user 4096 May 27 13:49 public_html'

Is the .well-known folder also carrying normal permissions? Is there a .htaccess file in the public_html there?
