ACF: Update a sub field inside a group field nested inside another group field

Question

I have a frontend form for creating a CPT that takes in various details supposed to update the ACF fields associated with that CPT. On form submission, the CPT gets created and the simple ACF text, number etc fields get saved as well. But I am unable to update the sub_fields nested deep inside a group field. This is the structure of my main ACF Field group:

'Working hours' (field_61f453c010074 - Type: Group)

   a. 'Monday' Group Field (field_61f4570e89281 - Type: Group)
       * 'Am' Sub Field #1 (field_61f4573589282- Type: Number)
       * 'Pm' Sub Field #2 (field_61f4574589283- Type: Number)

   b. 'Tuesday' Group Field (field_61f7a30ffbcf0- Type: Group)
       * 'Am' Sub Field #1 (field_61f7a30ffbcf1- Type: Number)
       * 'Pm' Sub Field #2 (field_61f7a30ffbcf2- Type: Number)

and it goes on like that till Sunday. I have tried various approaches but to no avail. And there are no errors generated in the process.

My code demo for updating the 'Am' field of Monday:

if( have_rows('field_61f453c010074') ): while ( have_rows('field_61f453c010074') ) : the_row(); 

    if( have_rows('field_61f4570e89281') ): while ( have_rows('field_61f4570e89281') ) : the_row();       

        update_sub_field('field_61f4573589282', $_POST['am']);

    endwhile; endif;

endwhile; endif;

I also tried this:

$value = array(
    array(
        "field_61f4570e89281"   => array(                
            "field_61f4573589282"   => $_POST['am'],
            "field_61f4574589283"   => $_POST['pm']
        )

);
update_field( 'field_61f453c010074', $value, $post_id  );

Please help me. What am I doing wrong?

enter image description here

$value = array(
    // nested array for every row of repeater
    array(
      // field key => value pairs for each sub field
      'field_62e5ba3233ceb' => 'block title', // title field
      'field_62e6bd4119dc1' => array(
        // nested repeater
        // field key => value pairs for each sub field
        array(
          'field_62e6bd5e19dc3' => 'link title',
          'field_62e6bd6419dc4' => 'link url',
          'field_62e6bd6a19dc5' => 'link fa icon',
        ),
        array(
          'field_62e6bd5e19dc3' => 'link title',
          'field_62e6bd6419dc4' => 'link url',
          'field_62e6bd6a19dc5' => 'link fa icon',
        ),
      ),
      'field_62e6c641a4fb4' => array(
        // nested repeater
        // field key => value pairs for each sub field
        'field_62e6c64ba4fb5' => 'link title',
      ),
      // next row in nested repeater
    ),
    // next row in repeater
  );

  update_field($repeater, $value, $post_id);
