Hi. I'm brand new here. I've spun up my own RHEL 9.4 Server. I've installed all the prereqs and get to the validation page which looks pretty good except it for the complains about correct ownership and CONFIGURATION DIRECTORY IS NOT WRITEABLE. I had this working on Ubuntu. My webserver ID on RHEL is apache, and it owns the directory. Is my issue the validation is looking for www-data as the owner?

Yes, user and group is apache in php-fpm.d/www.conf

Does the www.conf for php-fpm reflect apache as user and group?

PHP 8.0.30 with php-fpm

On apache2 are you using mod php8,3 or php8.3-fpm? (if not what version of PHP is your RHEL server running)
Also curious if this may work for you: sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/

verifyperms.php comes back with positive results:
My webserver is running under the user apache (default for RHEL)
id apache
uid=48(apache) gid=48(apache) groups=48(apache)
https://realgenx.onprem.radiogenx.com/verifyperms.php
The owner-id of your webserver process is: 48
....
Scanning: /var/www/html/realgenx
No permission problems found.

The owner-id of your webserver process is: 48

No permission problems found.
I still feel like the validation page is unhappy that the webserver is running under the id apache and not www-data. Wondering if www-data is hardcoded into a config file somewhere?

Good suggestion OFN but that search didn't return anything. It looks like the process name is httpd and the user is apache. here are a few httpd running as root though.
ps aux | grep httpd

Believe apache2 default user on RHEL is httpd. What does ps aux | grep apache2 say?

Not used RHEL so not sure. I am not sure what is apache user on RHEL and you have any open base directory issues or not.
Better use Ubuntu
