DNS Update records with CURL

Hey... Can anyone help me achieve the goal to update the an existent DNS record using a curl command? I have tried so many things already without success.

curl -s \
    -X PATCH "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/dns_records/$DNS_RECORD_ID" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "X-Auth-Email: $CLOUDFLARE_EMAIL" \
    -H "X-Auth-Key: $CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY" \
    --data "{
                "type": "A",
                "name": "$DNS_RECORD_NAME",
                "content": "$CURRENT_IP",
                "ttl": 1,
                "proxied": false"
                }"

curl -s \
    -X PATCH "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/dns_records/$DNS_RECORD_ID" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "X-Auth-Email: $CLOUDFLARE_EMAIL" \
    -H "X-Auth-Key: $CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY" \
    --data "{
                "type": "A",
                "name": "$DNS_RECORD_NAME",
                "content": "$CURRENT_IP",
                "ttl": 1,
                "proxied": false"
                }"

ZONE_ID = information shown inside my zone domain, overview, under API DNS_RECORD_ID = record ID that I want to change EMAIL = email API_KEY = created a aoi token with DNS:edit permitions DNS_RECORD_NAME = subdomain.domain.tld CURRENT_IP = IP to put in the record Error i'm getting:

{"success":false,"errors":[{"code":10001,"message":"Unable to authenticate request"}]}

{"success":false,"errors":[{"code":10001,"message":"Unable to authenticate request"}]}

Any hints?
