By “randomly” I meant that you are giving a command that changes thousands of files without first diagnosing whether there was actually a problem there, and in which file that problem was, and why.
The guide tells you to reset them initially, it doesn’t tell you that you need to keep doing it over and over. Degrading ownerships and permissions are always a sign of a badly configured server or badly executed maintenance. But it is not easy to get right, so it’s a very common problem.
About your logs, did you also check php_errors.log?
Sorry for the basic question, but I need to make sure - did you remember to run the upgrade-finalize step?
Other than that, if your installation is very broken, and you mention that you ran composer install, there’s a simple thing you can do to eliminate that as a potential cause of trouble. Download the full installer for your version, and use the vendor directory inside that zip.
So:
rename your current vendor directory to something like vendor.BAK
unzip the full installer
copy the vendor directory in its entirety to your installation
Also do these steps for public/legacy/vendor
Reset ownerships and permissions if you broke them by running these commands as the wrong user. And now try the system again, see if it works, or at least, if you now have errors in logs. Good luck

It made no difference.
Now I’ll try your other suggestions.
Okay so I copied both vendor directories to my installation. Now I’m unable to log-in. After entering the username and password, I get the SuiteCRM logo spinning in the middle of the page.
I do get some errors in the logs:

I ran that but it did NOT solve the page not displaying properly
sudo -u www-data ./bin/console cache:clear
// Clearing the cache for the prod environment with debug false
[OK] Cache for the "prod" environment (debug=false) was successfully cleared.
