IF anyone is interested, I got it working.

For some reason the field had a random name instead of the one I gave it in the ACF admin screen. I left a little snippet in so you can easily find the field name through debugging. There is probably a better way to do this but I’m not intimately familiar with all things ACF.

Also note that my custom taxonomy is “expert” so change that out for yours.

add_action('edit_user_profile_update', 'wda_connect_user_terms');
add_action('personal_options_update', 'wda_connect_user_terms');

function wda_connect_user_terms($user_id) {

  $terms = $_POST["acf"]['field_59eeaa8ebb291'];

// comment in this snippet to find field name
/* $fields = $_POST;
 * echo '<pre>';
 * var_dump($fields);
 * echo '</pre>';
*/

  if ($terms) {
   
  // An array of IDs of categories we want this post to have.
  $cat_ids = $terms;

  /*
   * If this was coming from the database or another source, we would need to make sure
   * these were integers:
  */

  $cat_ids = array_map( 'intval', $cat_ids );
  $cat_ids = array_unique( $cat_ids );

  $term_taxonomy_ids = wp_set_object_terms( $user_id, $cat_ids, 'expert' );

  if ( is_wp_error( $term_taxonomy_ids ) ) {
    // put debug code here
  } else {
    // put debug code here
  }

  }

}
