What should be the correct permissions for the /Library/LaunchAgents
folder and the plist inside it?

owner : group   privileges ?

Thanks.

It's not an issue that it's still working fine with root:admin (for  
LaunchAgents)?

Whoops, I gave you the wrong one. Though for /Library/LaunchAgents,  
the ownership and permissions are still the same.

What launchd really cares about is that those locations are only  
writable by root. So the group ownership isn't a big deal unless that  
group can has write access to that directory.
