Add local field issue

Hi. I’m trying to generate some fields with acf_add_local_field. Beforehand I build up an array to loop through and add each local field. The array in the first foreach is based on values set in another ACF options page. When I loop through the 2nd foreach with just the initial $fields array. It all works fine. When I add the items to the $fields array from the first foreach. It breaks and no fields are being generated. Although the print_r shows the new items are listed the same way as the first two. My questions is mainly. Why does it break and how can I fix this. (I know the code is less efficient as it should be).

function my_acf_add_local_field_groups() {

    $fields = ['test', 'test2'];
    
    foreach(get_mockup_objects() as $key => $object){
        if($object['hasPlaceholder']) {
            $fields[] = $object['placeholder']['id'];
        }
    }

    foreach($fields as $field) {
        acf_add_local_field([
                'label' => $field,
                'name' => $field,
                'type' => 'post_object',
                'parent' => 'field_5eac34065e6c1',
                'post_type' => 'project'
            ]);
    }
}

add_action('acf/init', 'my_acf_add_local_field_groups');

function get_mockup_objects(){
    $homepageFields = get_fields(get_option('page_on_front', true));
    $mockups = get_fields('mockups');
    $selectedMockup = '';

    foreach($mockups['homepage'] as $mockup){
        if($homepageFields['hero']['mockupHomepage'] === $mockup['id']){
            $selectedMockup = $mockup['objects'];
        }
    }

    $temp = [];

    foreach($selectedMockup as $object){
        if($object['hasPlaceholder']){
            $temp[] = $object;
        }
    }

    return $temp;
}

This is the return of the get_mockup_objects() function:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [coordinates] => Array
                (
                    [top] => -2
                    [left] => 50
                )

            [hasPlaceholder] => 1
            [placeholder] => Array
                (
                    [size] => Array
                        (
                            [width] => 776
                            [height] => 417
                        )

                    [id] => Ac1kkPPwdg
                )

        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [coordinates] => Array
                (
                    [top] => 349
                    [left] => 142
                )

            [hasPlaceholder] => 1
            [placeholder] => Array
                (
                    [size] => Array
                        (
                            [width] => 422
                            [height] => 265
                        )

                    [id] => TZeotr4IRH
                )

        )

)

Anyone any idea’s? Thanks in advance!
