Create the folder if it doesn't already exist:
mkdir /home/$USER/.ssh
Make the directory only executable by the user:
chmod 700 /home/$USER/.ssh
Copy the authorized_keys file that contains your public key:
sudo cp /root/.ssh/authorized_keys /home/$USER/.ssh/authorized_keys
Make everything in .ssh owned by your user:
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /home/$USER/.ssh
Make it readable only by your user:
sudo chmod 600 /home/$USER/.ssh/authorized_keys
