Nginx – CentOs 7 Nginx (13: Permission denied) while loading font file from css

I have an nginx webserver with bootstrap js framework. I am trying to get the css to be able to load the font files. Although i get error 403 when the browser is trying to access the font files.

I have looked around serverfault for those that have similar issues although i was unsuccessful in applying their solutions. ex: "How can I make nginx support @font-face formats and allow access-control-allow-origin?"

Below is my error and my server configuration:

Error:
