Auto assign post object based on user’s email address

I’ve been running around and can’t figure this out for the life of me.

I have a custom post type called “Companies” where I create posts of each of my client company.

I then have an ACF post object field in the User’s profile admin page that connects to the Companies CPT called user_company.

When an employee from said company registers for an account, I manually log in, go into their profile and select which company this person belongs to.

I’d like to do this automatically based on their email address.

This is what I have below but I’m not sure if I used update_field correctly or not since it’s not working. Only the user role is working.

add_action("um_user_register","um_042121_change_user_role", 10, 2 );
function um_042121_change_user_role( $user_id, $args ){
  if( isset( $args['user_email'] ) ){
    list($user, $domain) = explode('@', $args['user_email'] );
		$user_company = get_field('user_company', 'user_' . $user_id);
    if ($domain == 'amyling.com') {
      wp_update_user( array( 'ID' => $user_id, 'role' => 'portal_member' ) );
      update_field('user_company', '1725', 'user_' . $user_id);
    }
  }
}
