After I transfer from apache to nginx, and using php 8.1. I cannot install add on it says

Cannot install from archive as not all required directories are writable. Various directories must be writable by the web server user to install from an archive. In addition to the XF root directory, some or all of the following paths must be writable: js, src/addons, styles, src/XF/Repository/AddOn.php.

I've done Chmod or chown but still not working

Simply make sure your directories meet the read/write requirements as outlined.
You are not allowing your HTTP user (usually nginx) read/write access to the necessary directories.

XF 2.1 - What are the proper CHMOD Permissions for data and internal_data

I had to fix a bunch of permissions today because I installed using the CLI. Normally, folders are set to 0755 and files to 0644. The data and internal_data need to be writable and the only way I could get an addon to install was to set the permissions for every folder recursively to 077...

In addition to that, you need to make SURE that your root directory has read/write access for whatever user nginx/php-fpm is running as.

Until you make sure your chmod/chown settings are correct.. you are going to have issues.
Is this a "self-rolled" system, or are you by chance using the excellent CentMin mod?
Typically www-data is apache specific.. not nginx. Usually using nginx relates to the nginx:nginx user/group setting.

you need to check what users PHP-FPM and NGINX are running as... and make sure at least nginx user has read/write ability to the necessary directories. What you are seeing is VERY typical of permission issues.
It is one reason that I don't recommend, unless you are Linux admin proficient, that you "roll your own". Even with the fact that CentOS expires in about 7 months, going with CentMin Mod is a much easier proposition.
Sometimes installs run nginx/php-fpm under the WWW user.... have you used PS to check what user nginx and php-fpm is running under?
The problem with following a lot of the "guides" you find on the interwebz is that they aren't complete.

You need to check your ngiinx config also and see what user it is running under.
user nginx nginx;
and then check your php-fpm user.
I'm, pretty sure that actually you need to grant read/write access to the nginx user.. but not knowing how you set your system up I cannot guarantee that.

no, but somewhere int the guide you used it had to set the nginxuser... and there are so many guides out there (and many of them with issues) that I can't tell you exactly where to look. What you are looking at appear to be the vhost config... not the actual nginx config which usually sets the nginx user and not a vhost setting.

nginx is running as user www-data and the PHP FPM pool (according to ps) as well.

In this case (and only in this case! Normally I'd reommend to run the pool under its own user) user www-data does need rwx on the mentioned directories.

Thanks for helping, I chown and chmod to www-data as ls -l shown below:
