If the includes/vendor/acf directory is not used as the root directory of the plugin then change the directory name, and core filename in the ACF class file properties:
@see includes/classes/vendor/class-acf.php.

before_htmlhook before the opening<html>tag for ACF frontend forms. - Template files look for content
template-partsfiles ending with-acf. - An ACF JSON directory is ready to use, filters added in the ACF class.
