After some digging through the ACF API files, I tested the acf_get_valid_post_id function. When no ID is passed into the function, the ID that gets returned looks something like block_[RANDOM STRING]. When an ID is passed into the function, the ID that was passed in just gets returned.
When I use that block string as the ID parameter, everything actually works as expected. My current predicament now is retrieving those block string keys dynamically through the wordpress post ID because currently, I can only get those keys when no post ID is provided (So it only works on the specific post page itself).
