Xml2Array::convert($response)->toArray() not converting curl response correctly

[PaiseHIM]

Hi, I am trying to convert curl post request to an array.

Example Code:
$response = curl_exec($this->client);
$resArray = Xml2Array::convert($response)->toArray();

XML response from the curl call:

5601088 2024020621 20240206 163221 A N P 91206263877764 5 GROOM AV DISCOVERY FLORIDA 1709 GP GAUTENG 00000000000814603186 20191003 INDO JET CONWAY TRAVEL 20190820 WENDY KLAASSEN 416976700 06400

Array created by Xml2Array::convert($response)->toArray() :

Array ( [SOAP-ENV:Envelope] => Array ( [SOAP-ENV:Header] => [SOAP-ENV:Body] => Array ( [ns:submit-claim2caskResponse] => Array ( [reply] => 5601088 2024020621 20240206 163221 A N P 91206263877764 5 GROOM AV DISCOVERY FLORIDA 1709 GP GAUTENG 00000000000814603186 20191003 INDO JET CONWAY TRAVEL 20190820 WENDY KLAASSEN 416976700 06400 ) ) [@attributes] => Array ( [xmlns:SOAP-ENV] => http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/ [xmlns:ns] => http://www.medikredit.co.za/CASK ) ) )

But if I pass the the top xml as static string to Xml2Array::convert($response)->toArray() it works correctly.

Array ( [MkFullXMLResponse] => Array ( [MkEligUninsuredXMLResponse] => Array ( [TransactionData] => Array ( [SupplierBHFNumber] => 5601088 [TransactionInfo] => Array ( [InternalClaimNumber] => 2024020657 [ProcessDate] => 20240206 [ProcessTime] => 113457 [TransactionResult] => A [SchemeResult] => N [PaymentAdvice] => P ) ) [HospitalData] => [VendorInfo] => [ProcessReference] => Array ( [MkRef] => 91205094438269 ) [AddressInformation] => Array ( [AddressLine1] => 5 GROOM AV [Suburb] => DISCOVERY [City] => FLORIDA [PostalCode] => 1709 [Province] => GP [ProvName] => GAUTENG ) [TelephoneNumberDetail] => Array ( [CellPhone] => 00000000000814603186 ) [EmployerDetails] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [LastRecordedDate] => 20191003 [EmployerName] => INDO JET CONWAY TRAVEL ) [1] => Array ( [LastRecordedDate] => 20190820 [EmployerName] => WENDY KLAASSEN ) ) [IncomeEstimator] => Array ( [ConsumerNumber] => 416976700 [PredictedIncome] => 06400 ) [Messaging] => ) [@attributes] => Array ( [xsi:schemaLocation] => http://www.medikredit.co.za/MedikreditElectronicClaimProcessing/xml4 C:/Users/RoshanW/ONEDRI1/Documents/IQPROJ1/ECDOH/XMLV40~1.XSD [xmlns] => http://www.medikredit.co.za/MedikreditElectronicClaimProcessing/xml4 ) ) )

Any help or guidance would be appreciate.
