Solved it. If anyone ever needs this here you go. My main issue was that instead of using $_POST[‘acf’][‘field_5da4981a6418e’] I used $_POST[‘acf’][‘phone_numbers’] so it wasn’t storing the values but storing NULL.

function update_phone() {
  global $wpdb;
  $current_user_id = get_current_user_id();

  $new_value = $_POST['acf']['field_5da4981a6418e'];

  $wpdb->update(
    "custom_table",
    array(
      "phone_numbers" => $new_value,
    ),
    array( 
      'wp_user' =>  $current_user_id,
    ),
    array( 
      '%s',
    ),
    array( '%s' )
  );
}
add_action('acf/save_post', 'update_phone', 1);
