Cannot Save App Permissions on DBX Platform

I have created the app but I keep checking the box in permissions for files.content.write and files.content.read and it won't save.  Everytime I authenicate, it says those permissions are not shared, and I go into the app and the boxes are unchecked.  How do I save permissions?  I went to Branding and hit save but it doesn't save

    southpaw3229 Ð—дравко is correct; you need to click "Submit" on the "Permissions" tab (not the "Branding" tab) to save the changes. Also, make sure you've dismissed the cookie consent banner at the bottom of the screen, as it can obscure those buttons.
