I upgraded to 12. Need help with permissions, forwarding and plugin setup.

Hi. I'm old and FreeNAS' reliability has made me rusty. I was able to do an in place mobo, proc, mem upgrade a couple years ago so I haven't gone through all this setup in too long. This install started out in v9 IIRC.

Lay of the land
I have windows shares I access as either "samba" (RW on everything) or "xbox" (Read only on a few directories, RW on one). That looks like:
r/freenas - I upgraded to 12 and blew away all my plugins. Need help with permissions, forwarding and plugin user setup.
Samba Shares

There is one OS drive and two raid pools, each with a dataset: jailsdrive (plugins) and raidpool. The directories above all live on raidpool. /mnt/raidpool/media , /mnt/raidpool/photo , etc.

I get a little rusty here on the why but I have four users that show up in the "user" screen on v12: plex, root, samba, xbox. I do vaguely remember also using "media" for something (UID 8675309) and that shows up under built in users.

New table, what plugins need access to on /raidpool:

Plugins Access

Caveat there is that I really only need plex to access a couple of media sub directories but I think I just punched those through before.
I'd rather the sabnzbd and transmission plugins use /temp on raidpool for working directories. I can't recall if I did it that way before.

Forwarding:
As far as I can tell I did all my port forwarding and IP addressing at the router based on MAC. Redacted MAC ids:

More on the Transmission 127 vs 109 thing below.

Questions:

1. I didn't delete the Transmission plugin before upgrading. Any harm done? Is it there somewhere in the background?

2. I tried to install Transmission and only mounted purgatory to see if it would work. I can see a file download to the raidpool via SSH/MC. But I broke the SMB share (at least as user "samba") from windows. I can no longer access purgatory. So I did a ls -l and see a problem:

I stopped the process. How do I revert that 921 to "samba"?

3. I got a port forward error when transmission was running. It looks like it used to run on its own IP (127) but now runs on 109. So I changed the forward rule to accommodate. What's the best way to fix this?

4. Can/Should I move transmission's temp files to /mnt/raidpool/temp ?

5. Should I change the transmission user? To what? Or change permissions on directories to accommodate 921?

Lets start there... fixing SMB shares and getting transmission running. Then we'll move to Plex and SabNZBD.
