Getting errors while ugrading haproxy version

I’m upgrading the haproxy version to HAProxy version 2.4.22-f8e3218 using RHEL-9 servers. I’m facing to major errors while running the haproxy service

 Starting frontend GLOBAL: error when trying to preserve previous UNIX socket (Permission denied) [/var/lib/haproxy/stats]
[/usr/sbin/haproxy.main()] Some protocols failed to start their listeners! Exiting.

I checked a few previous blogs and posts that mentioned that we should create the /var/lib/haproxy/stats file which I did but I’m not able to find the issue.

The global congif file is

global
  chroot  /var/lib/haproxy
  cpu-map  1 0
  cpu-map  2 1
  cpu-map  3 2
  cpu-map  4 3
  daemon
  group  haproxy
  log  127.0.0.1 local2
  maxconn  4000
  nbthread  4
  pidfile  /var/run/haproxy.pid
 # Removed the ssl-default-cipher part and bind option part
  stats  socket /var/lib/haproxy/stats mode 600 level admin
  user  haproxy

Please help me find the root cause.
