Like Valery already pointed out, rpmbuild should never ever be executed
as root, which means you simply cannot set file ownership during
%install. File ownership should always be set in %files with
%defattr/%attr.

Setting the file mode is up to you. Often its suffieciently taken care
of with by "make install" during %install so that only eg
"%defattr(root,root,-)" is needed, and if further tweaking is needed it
can be done from either %install or %files via %defattr/%attr.
