For anyone out there I found the solution. This no longer exists > 'field_name_upload_prefilter'
SO you need to change it to
'gist_acf_upload_dir_prefilter'

I found the solution here > https://gist.github.com/BODA82/a4b810b9c0f17fe4c52f7c7e96ade119

Here is my code Working as of today.

function gist_acf_upload_dir_prefilter($errors, $file, $field) {
    
    // Only allow editors and admins, change capability as you see fit
    if( !current_user_can('edit_pages') ) {
        $errors[] = 'Only Editors and Administrators may upload attachments';
    }
    
    // This filter changes directory just for item being uploaded
    add_filter('upload_dir', 'gist_acf_upload_dir');
    
}

// ACF hook, set to field key of your file upload field
add_filter('acf/upload_prefilter/key=field_627a6567e2078', 'gist_acf_upload_dir_prefilter', 10, 3 );

// Custom upload directory
function gist_acf_upload_dir($param) {
    
    // Set to whatever directory you want the ACF file field to upload to
    $custom_dir = '/uploads/protected';
    $param['path'] = WP_CONTENT_DIR . $custom_dir;
    $param['url'] = WP_CONTENT_URL . $custom_dir;

    return $param;
    
}
