ACF gallery field not displaying images

Hi
I am trying to bring a post ACF gallery field into a slider on my home page.
I have setup a looper provider on the section to target a specific post with data in the ACF gallery field. I know this is working as i can display the featured image of the post in the section using dynamic content. I have viewed the Looper videos on your YouTube channel and i can see that when selecting ACF as a dynamic content provider the interface shows the available fields but when i do this on my site no fields are suggested. If i fill the field key in with gallery as that is the given name of the ACF field i get a broken image link icon. So i decided to display the data being returned in a heading field using the same dynamic content string {{dc:acf:post_field field=“gallery”}} and i get a comma separated list of the image URLs, so my looper provider appears to be providing the correct data
I have attached some screen shots to try and explain things as clearly as possible. I get the feeling i am missing something fundamental to get this to work but on looking at the ACF gallery video several times i don’t think i have missed anything.
Ultimately i would like to populate one of your pre built modern sliders with the images from the gallery field but clearly i need to crack the fundamentals of getting the images to display on the page first

Solved it.
Just for anyone else looking to do the same here is how i solved this.

At the section level i configured using the query builder a looper provider targeting a specific post.

Then on the column containing the slider i enabled a looper consumer set to all (but as i am only retrieving one post in the looper provider on the section this makes no difference that i understand)

I then configured a looper provider on the slide container using the dynamic content option and set it to {{dc:acf:post_field field=“gallery”}}

Finally i configured the looper consumer to All on the one slide in the slide container and configured the background image to be {{dc:looper:item}}

Not being a developer i had failed to recognise i was returning an array from the AFC gallery field and that it needed to be turned into its own loop so a slide would be generated for each image in the ACF gallery filed on the post i was targeting. By no means am a certain that this is the most efficient way of achieving this but it does allow me to provide a very simple way to teach my client how to update the images on his sliders.

If the admins think there is a simpler way to do this then please let me know as i am always after the most efficient way to do things.

many thanks in advance for any tips or advice
