ACF uses the built in wp_list_categories() function to show terms as checkboxes. I don’t know if you can alter the arguments for this function to do what you want. Here is the code from ACF

		
		// vars
		$args = array(
			'taxonomy'     		=> $field['taxonomy'],
			'show_option_none'	=> sprintf( _x('No %s', 'No terms', 'acf'), strtolower($taxonomy_obj->labels->name) ),
			'hide_empty'   		=> false,
			'style'        		=> 'none',
			'walker'       		=> new ACF_Taxonomy_Field_Walker( $field ),
		);
		
		
		// filter for 3rd party customization
		$args = apply_filters('acf/fields/taxonomy/wp_list_categories', $args, $field);
		$args = apply_filters('acf/fields/taxonomy/wp_list_categories/name=' . $field['_name'], $args, $field);
		$args = apply_filters('acf/fields/taxonomy/wp_list_categories/key=' . $field['key'], $args, $field);
		
		?>
<div class="categorychecklist-holder">
	<ul class="acf-checkbox-list acf-bl">
		<?php wp_list_categories( $args ); ?>
	</ul>
</div>
