does anyone know how to fix? I found some instruction on modifying platform.xml on system/etc/permissions,
I've done them all, but I'm still having problems with apps,
the app itself has access too

The SD card has been treated as normal storage since KitKat, so apps don't have free access to it. If the app has a means of selecting the SD card as the destination for what it's saving, use that, otherwise that particular app can;t. (You could try giving "rw access" to the card to "everyone", but it may or may not work if the app doesn't have its own way of writing to the card.)
