Caveat - Not a OSX user only a poor-ol linux fan and liable to remain that way. But I do have an old OSX VM to see what it is all about. That reads like you are putting the brushes in the Gimp system folder - some long name in Applications/GIMP-2.10/...etc. That is read only. If you look in GIMP-2.10 -> Preferences -> Folders -> Brushes there should be two entries one as above (or similar) and another for your Gimp user profile. /Users/your_name/....etc... As in the screenshot. An alternative is make a folder for new brushes somewhere where you definitely have permissions and same place as before Edit -> Preferences -> Folders -> Brushes add that location. Same preferences dialogue to add path.
