I know this is a very old topic and you have either figured this our or moved on by now. This is for others that might be trying to do the same thing since I have recently done something similar.

You need to add a couple of filters. The first is for the upload prefilter

add_filter('acf/upload_prefilter/name=field_name', 'field_name_upload_prefilter');
function field_nameupload_prefilter($errors) {
  // in this filter we add a WP filter that alters the upload path
  add_filter('upload_dir', 'field_name_upload_dir');
  return $errors;
}
// second filter
function field_name_upload_dir($uploads) {
  // here is where we later the path
  $uploads['path'] = $uploads['basedir'].'/your_path_dir';
  $uploads['url'] = $uploads['baseurl'].'/your_path_dir';
  $uploads['subdir'] = '';
  return $uploads;
}
