STIG requires file permissions, ownership, and group membership of system files and commands match the vendor value

I am having trouble clearing a STIG that requires file permissions, ownership, and group membership of system files and commands match the vendor values. It is hitting on pretty much all of the splunk files, but I am not sure what it means when it says it has to match the vendor values. Any help is much appreciated!
