Permissions not Changing on High Sierra

Having persistent problems with permission problems since upgrading to High Sierra.

Candidly, I'm not sure it upgraded completely, I recall it may have stalled toward the end, but it's been awhile and I've been a bit busy

Trying to work with with files in a DMG that I created.

The files are copy-able, but the DMG is too big to copy the whole thing to HD and just delete the former DMG.

I've run EtreCheck and will post below.

Thanks in advance.
