Does anyone know where the policy path for the flatpak version is?

Okay, I have no idea what that is nor does giving the flatpak permission to access /etc/chromium/policies/managed/policies.json work. But I'm gonna close the issue anyway because there's definitely a way but I am too dumb to get it.

You just build and install using flatpak-builder as you would with any flatpak.
