most likely, the group id is not doublequoted properly (although other reasons might apply). there are a bunch of issues about this already. most likely, boils down to api validation again.

Hello Paul,

Please share full API request for troubleshooting.

This was user error.  I have since figured out how to properly structure JSON data for API requests.  Sorry for this.
