@hube2 John,

your solution gave me right direction !!

for anyone looking for the same or similiar solution here is the code

add_filter('post_thumbnail_id', 'replace_thumbnail_id_with_acf', 20, 2);
function replace_thumbnail_id_with_acf($thumbnail_id, $post) {

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
    $image_id = get_field('reveal_face', $post->ID, false);
    if ($image_id) {
      $thumbnail_id = $image_id;
    }
} else {
    $image_id = get_field('_thumbnail_id', $post->ID, false);
    if ($image_id) {
      $thumbnail_id = $image_id;
    }
}
return $thumbnail_id;
}
