Help automating Custom Fields in Clickup

I’m having a major issue trying to automate assigning custom fields to Clickup. I originally tried to use the Set Custom Field action but that just kept giving the error

Bad request - please check your parameters

Instead I was able to get the first custom field to work with the HTTP Request named Update Company but for whatever reason the HTTP Request named Update Contact right after fails. It keeps giving me this error message which doesn’t make sense as it is using the same credentials

Forbidden - perhaps check your credentials? [item 0]
ERROR: The request could not be satisfied 403 ERROR The request could not be satisfied. Bad request. We can't connect to the server for this app or website at this time. There might be too much traffic or a configuration error. Try again later, or contact the app or website owner.

A point to note is that the response from the Update Company gives an odd response as the output. The task does indeed have 3 custom fields which makes me think perhaps the issue is with the Update Company action but I’m not sure. This is the repsonse it gives

Output
3 items
This is an item, but it's empty.

Any help is appreciated as I have been stuck on this issue for days
