So if anyone else runs in to this. You can log in to the server as root and then install the global package. That was the only way I could get it to install. Then you can sudo run it from there.

In my case I am trying to install Google Lighthouse that utilizes Chrome Driver 2 different NPM packages and when I install it as root then from my laravel application I was able to make the forge user run lighthouse as root but it will call the Chrome Driver from there and it will fail as I think it tries to create a session for the forge user... so I think I really need to figure out how to give forge the access to npm globally. Been spending so many days trying to fix this. I don't know a lot about npm I might be wrong about how it works.
