AJAX update_sub_field on user profile

I am trying to update a True/False box using update_sub_field. I can’t get any of the content to update, not even a wysiwyg box. I have used different combinations of field keys and names but the documentation doesn’t outline which parts are needed to reference the correct field. I am using a function in functions.php called by an ajax call. The function is running as it is returning the user_id.

function acf_update_user_notification() {

	if ( isset($_POST['user-id']) && isset($_POST['note-id']) ) {
		$currNote = $_POST['note-id']-1;
		echo 'user_' . $_POST['user-id'];
		update_sub_field(
			array(
				'field_5c76a4e6b4e7d', $currNote,
				'field_5c76ad9bb4e7f'
			), 'Test Content', 'user_' . $_POST['user-id']);
	}
	exit();
}

add_action('wp_ajax_updateNote', 'acf_update_user_notification');

AJAX call

<script type="text/javascript">
	function notificationRead(note_id) {
		jQuery.ajax({
			url: ajaxurl,
			method: 'POST',
			data: {
				'action': 'updateNote',
				'user-id': '<?php echo $user_id;?>',
				'note-id': note_id
			},
			success: function(successData){
				console.log('Success!');
				console.log(successData);
			},
			error: function(errorData){
				console.log('Error!');
				console.log(errorData);
			}
		});
	}
</script>
