yourWHMCS/modules/servers/Xenica
yourWHMCS/modules/addons/xenica

has the same user/permissions like any other whmcs file, the owner must not be root , because apache needs to handle those files, lets assume that your normal whmcs files owner is 'apache' and your WHMCS path is /var/www/html/whmcs/:

cd /var/www/html/whmcs
chown -R apache:apache modules/servers/Xenica
chown -R apache:apache modules/addons/xenica
