Hide Fields on AJAX creation of form

I’m getting the form code from an API and injecting it in to my HTML. I’m using the acf.do_action( 'append', $form_container ); code in the form and it works for adding rows to repeater fields but it doesn’t hide fields that are suppose to be hidden initially. What else do I need to do?

Example:
I have a checkbox that when checked, shows more fields. When the form is inserted, it shows all the hidden fields even though the checkbox isn’t selected.

Ok, it looks like if I run $form_container.trigger( 'acf/setup_fields' ); it hides the fields but takes a good 1-2 seconds to do so. Any way to minimize this timedelay?

Some how this has sorted itself out and I didn’t need the trigger after all.
