ACF Pro – ACF JSON save hook not saving

I am trying to save my Field Groups as JSON files, so I added the following code to my main plugin file of another plugin:

// acf save to json
define( 'MY_PLUGIN_DIR_PATH', untrailingslashit( plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) ) );
add_filter('acf/settings/save_json', 'my_acf_json_save_point');

function my_acf_json_save_point( $path ) {

    // Set the path
    $path = MY_PLUGIN_DIR_PATH . '/acf-json';

    // Return path
    return $path;

}

and then made the folder ‘acf-json’ in my plugin directory. Adding this function made a new column appear in my acf ‘Field Groups’ page called “Local JSON”. I then created a new field group to test this out. The new field group says “Awaiting Save” under the new column, but I updated the group and no json file is being written to the acf-json directory. Am I leaving out a step?

What I have Tried:
After a search online, I found that people having similar issues needed to change the permissions on the “acf-json’ directory to allow writing, so I did that but nothing changed.
