Solved!!!

I dug into the ACF core for a while and after a ton of trial and error, I found a super simple way to do this.

I created a custom endpoint that does the following:

// Get new post's ID
$post_id = $request['id'];
 
// Get new post's meta fields
$meta_fields = get_post_meta($post_id);

// Save the meta fields to the post 
acf_save_post($post_id, $meta_fields);
