ACF Repeater fields within Custom Post loop and Nested Arrays

I’m having an issue with a previous developer’s code, but can’t figure it out. I’m working on a page that has 2 arrays inside a loop using repeaters for an accordion drop down of sub fields and dumping all this into a boostrap card into a 2-column card grid.

Basic structure:
– if custom query have posts : while custom query have posts : custom query the post
– if in array
– if in array
– count
– while have rows
– get sub fields
– count++
– endwhile
– else
– count
– while have rows
– get sub fields
– count++
– endwhile
– endwhile ; endif
– reset query

I think it has a $uniqueid issue since both arrays and the “else” section share the same repeater rows, fields and sub fields. What am I doing wrong? The else section near the bottom is the only part that works. “Reset rows” doesn’t seem to help either. Maybe is the array nested inside of an array that’s the issue?

The 2 arrays handle this page (not working): http://dev-une-online-testing.pantheonsite.io/about/about-owl/academic-programs/

The <?php } else { ?> section shows up correctly in this page (working): http://dev-une-online-testing.pantheonsite.io/about/about-owl/

Help?
