sock file fails to initialize 'permission denied'.

I am getting 'permission denied' when I try and connect to my url.

nginx version: nginx/1.10.3
Starting uWSGI 2.0.17.1 (64bit)

My config is new and vhost.

log error:

My sites-available file:

server {
        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;

        root /var/www/fixdsite.com/html;
        index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html index.php;
        server_name fixdsite.com www.fixdsite.com;
        location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
        location /static/ {
                root /home/fixdsite;
        }
        location / {
                include         uwsgi_params;
                uwsgi_pass      unix:/run/uwsgi/fixdsite.sock;
                try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
        }

How do I get nginx/uwsgi to open the .sock file? nginx fails with permission denied.

Note: I can start the server manually with

uwsgi -s /run/uwsgi/fixdsite.sock

as the proper user and then the sock appears. But nginx is supposed to be doing that via the uwsgi module and not me.
