This really isn’t possible. In order for ACF to find the content the fields and sub fields need to have the same hierarchy and field keys.
I suppose it could be possible if you want to do all the input parsing yourself, get the fields submitted on the front end and update fields in a different field group.
But this is not something that you can do by just creating two different field groups
