I have a few documents uploaded to salesforce files and i have a force.com site with the public guest user profile. When i enter my force.com domain my visualforce page queries for ContentDocumentLinks, however when the guest user queries them only one of the three files shows up. The content document link have the same permissions, the content documents as well. I there any permission in any related object that i am missing?

You can directly download using the ContentVersion Id:
/sfc/servlet.shepherd/version/download/<CONTENT VERSION ID starting with 068>
The ContentVersion is related to the ContentDocument via a dedicated ContentDocumentId. Get the ID of the one where IsLatest is true.
I faced this now too and after ....
- adding the guest user to a public group
- creating a public library and then adding the file to that library
If I use
<img style="max-width: 100%;" src="/sfc/servlet.shepherd/version/renditionDownload?rendition=THUMB720BY480&versionId={!ContentVersionId}"/>
it doesn't work but if I use
<img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://XXXX--YYYY--c.INSTANCE.content.force.com/sfc/servlet.shepherd/version/renditionDownload?rendition=THUMB720BY480&versionId={!ContentVersionId}"/>
then it works.
Compare your /apex version of the visualforce (right click on the image and open link) with the site.com URL and you will see there's a small difference.

I believe I found a workaround for this issue. Creating a before insert trigger on ContentVersion that sets the Origin field to C, along with a before insert trigger on ContentDocumentLink that sets Visibility to AllUsers, allowed the public force.com site guest user to access the Salesforce File which was uploaded by the out of the box UI. So records started being returned when querying ContentDocumentLink and ContentVersion as the site user after uploading with those trigger changes in place.
