Simple-schema wont update - mongodb

Question

I'm trying to update a MongoDB collection using $set. The field within the collection doesn't exist. When I try to add the field, the collection briefly stores the data and then the data disappears and returns an error ClientError: name.first is not allowed by the schema. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong here and I've been searching google for hours.
I'm using:
Meteor
Simple-Schema (NPM)
meteor-collection2-core
Path: Simple-Schema
const ProfileCandidateSchema = new SimpleSchema({
userId: {
type: String,
regEx: SimpleSchema.RegEx.Id,
},
createdAt: {
type: Date,
},
name: { type: Object, optional: true },
'name.first': { type: String },
});
Path: Method.js
import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';
import { ProfileCandidate } from '../profileCandidate';
import SimpleSchema from 'simpl-schema';
import { ValidatedMethod } from 'meteor/mdg:validated-method';
export const updateContactDetails = new ValidatedMethod({
name: 'profileCandidate.updateContactDetails',
validate: new SimpleSchema({
'name.first': { type: String },
}).validator({ clean: true }),
run(data) {
ProfileCandidate.update({userId: this.userId},
{$set:
{
name: {'first': "Frank"},
}
}, (error, result) => {
if(error) {
console.log("error: ", error)
}
});
}
});
UPDATE
Path: call function
updateContactDetails.call(data, (error) => {
if (error) {
console.log("err: ", error);
console.log("err.error: ", error.error);
}
});

Can you try replacing:
validate: new SimpleSchema({
'name.first': { type: String },
}).validator({ clean: true }),
in Method.js by:
validate: new SimpleSchema({
name: {
type: new SimpleSchema({
first: String,
}),
optional: true,
}).validator({ clean: true }),
