I want to add a row to my posts flexible content field. I create my ACF fields using the code from the export tool, this is a part of it:

When I create or edit a post I can see and use these fields.
Now I have a script to import posts and I want to add the field Tekst (1 blok per rij) as a new row programmatically.
I've tried using add_sub_row and update_field but none worked properly.
When I use add_sub_row like this I always get a return value of false:
add_sub_row([ 'field_5c4a0645c3baa', 1, 'field_5c4a0666c3bab'], [
'field_5c4a0666c3bab' => 'test'
], $post)
When I use update_field I do get a response which makes it look like the field has been added, but I can't see it when I go to wp-admin and open the post:
update_field('field_5c4a0645c3baa', [
'acf_fc_layout' => 'text',
'text_content' => 'test'
], $post)
How should I use these methods? Because I've tried to use the manual of ACF for it but I don't really understand how to put it to use on flexible content.
