How to filter query loop to only include posts that match specific ACF checkbox

Hi there,
For my custom post type "Custom", I have created a custom ACF checkbox field with the name "temperament" and the key "field_608b188ad99a3".
Now, within a query loop block in one of my posts, I only want to show posts from that custom post type where the specific checkbox value "calm" is selected (there might be other options selected as well).
I have given the query loop block an additional CSS class called "special" and then created the following filter within my functions.php (following earlier help forum articles):
add_filter( 'generateblocks_query_loop_args', function( $query_args, $attributes ) {
if (
! is_admin() &&
// if block has an advanced > additional CSS Class of: special
! empty( $attributes['className'] ) &&
strpos( $attributes['className'], 'special' ) !== false
) {
// pass meta_query parameter
$query_args[ 'meta_query' ] = array(
'meta_key' => 'temperament',
'meta_value' => 'calm',
'compare' => 'IN',
);
}
return $query_args;
}, 10, 2 );
However, nothing happens within the post (and the query loop). All posts from the specific post type are shown. No filtering is happening. What should I do/change? Thank you!
