I have done some further testing to see where the problem arrises.

1. From https://www.imagely.com/docs/nextgen-gallery-shortcodes/#gist21867672 take the shortcode [ngg_images gallery_ids=1 display_type=photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails disable_pagination=1 images_per_page=1 show_all_in_lightbox=1] and paste it into an ACF field with a WYSIWIG editor
2. preview: gallery will show fine
3. edit the Nextgen gallery by clicking on the pen icon in the Nextgen gallery icon in your WYSIWIG content
4. change which gallery should be displayed and hit ‘Insert Displayed Gallery’
5. preview the post. The error If you're seeing this, it's because the gallery type you selected has not provided a template of it's own. is displayed
6. now compare the shortcode above with the current shortcode: it has many differences

Above shortcode after editing the gallery to be displayed using the ‘edit-gallery’ button:

[ngg_images source="galleries" container_ids="2" display_type="photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails" override_thumbnail_settings="0" thumbnail_width="240" thumbnail_height="160" thumbnail_crop="1" images_per_page="1" number_of_columns="0" ajax_pagination="0" show_all_in_lightbox="1" use_imagebrowser_effect="0" show_slideshow_link="0" slideshow_link_text="[Show slideshow]" order_by="sortorder" order_direction="ASC" returns="included" maximum_entity_count="500"]
