Can't get acf/load_field to work with repeater inside a group

I’m trying to modify this to work on a page, but instead of using the options page I have the repeater on the same page that has choice field I want changed. The code below isn’t working when the repeater field (“test_categories”) is nested inside a group field called ‘build_links’:

function acf_load_color_field_choices($field) {
    $field['choices'] = array();
    if(have_rows('build_links')) {    
    	while(have_rows('build_links')) {
    	    the_row();
			if(have_rows('test_categories')) {
				while(have_rows('test_categories')) {
    				the_row();
					$value = get_sub_field('category');
                    $field['choices'][$value] = $value;
				}
			}
    	}
    }
    return $field;
}
add_filter('acf/load_field/key=field_5b2c0cba3f931','acf_load_color_field_choices');

But when I move the repeater “test_categories” outside of the group and change it to this it works?

function acf_load_color_field_choices($field) {
    $field['choices'] = array();
	if(have_rows('test_categories')) {
		while(have_rows('test_categories')) {
			the_row();
			$value = get_sub_field('category');
            $field['choices'][$value] = $value;
		}
	}
    return $field;
}
add_filter('acf/load_field/key=field_5b2c0cba3f931','acf_load_color_field_choices');
