Just tested and works fine

Here’s what I did:
1) Create an ACF text field called Random String
2) This creates the label random_string
3) For testing, I assigned this field to User Role is equal to All
4) I added the below code to my functions.php file:

<?php 
add_action( 'user_register', 'myplugin_registration_save', 10, 1 );
function myplugin_registration_save( $user_id ) {
 
	####generate the random number

	#get current date/time
	$date = date('YmdH:i:s');

	#randmoise
	$randomise = ($date * 25);	

	update_user_meta($user_id, 'random_string', $randomise ); #change random_string to your ACF field label!!!
 
}

5) I registered a new user
6) I then clicked to edit the user, scrolled down to my new Random String field, this was the result: 50527810375

Code and entire process tried and tested!
