Ruby Google Drive API - 403 Forbidden on web_content_link - ruby

Question

I can read and scan the files fine in a Google Drive, but I can't seem to access the web_content_link, no matter what I do. My Auth perms look fine. I'm at a complete loss.
I abstracted some of the Google Drive API logic to google_setup.rb.
And then in my rake file, all I want to do is access the download file. I seem to be able to scan through the files just fine, but even though, it looks to me like I should have perms to access the download link, I always get a 403 Forbidden error.
If you can be of any help, please let me know!

def self.authorize
client_id = Google::Auth::ClientId.from_file Rails.root.join('lib', 'assets', 'credentials.json').freeze
token_store = Google::Auth::Stores::FileTokenStore.new file: 'token.yaml'
authorizer = Google::Auth::UserAuthorizer.new client_id, Google::Apis::DriveV3::AUTH_DRIVE, token_store
user_id = 'default'
credentials = authorizer.get_credentials user_id
if credentials.nil?
url = authorizer.get_authorization_url base_url: 'https://seeburg.herokuapp.com/'
puts 'Open the following URL in the browser and enter the ' \
"resulting code after authorization:\n" + url

if response.files.empty?
puts 'No files found'
else

end
sleep 0.5
rescue StandardError => e

GoogleSetup.get_files(query).each do |file|
##If I can get this section to work, everything else I need will work

It ended up being a timeout issue. Google only lets you take certain actions within a timeframe of authentication.
