I do not know the answer. Here is something you may want to try/read.
Script in crontab.weekly are run by root while your script has execution
bit only for dod. I will make it 755 file and see what happens.
But I do not understand why you want to run script in user account by
root. If script is for root put it in /etc/cron.daily and set file to
755 root:root just like other file.
If this is user script, then you need to read man 5 crontab and man 1
crontab. Basically set file crontab and run crontab. See also
