How can I insert a JSON array in to a postgres column that is of type JSON[]?

I am trying to get some test data in to a column inside a PostgreSQL table, seems simple enough but have tried the following methods using pgAdmin 4 and nothing works. It is simply an array of JSON objects that will later be read in by a spring entity it is mapped to.

1. Simply using the GUI to double click a box in a row under the column

Expected - saves the JSON array

Actual - can not save

[{
    "appName": "UCRM",
    "scopes": [
      "read",
      "write"
    ]
  },
  {
    "appName": "OCTA",
    "scopes": [
      "read",
      "write",
      "delete"
    ]
  }]

error after trying to save the above JSON

2. using a script to insert the same data to every row that has that column

Expected - saves JSON array to every column "app_acl" for every row

Actual - It does insert in to the table but, saves a invalid JSON array and making it useless as shown below

script in question:

UPDATE application_acl SET app_acl = array[
  '{
    "appName": "UCRM",
    "scopes": [
      "read",
      "write"
    ]
  }',
  '{
    "appName": "OCTA",
    "scopes": [
      "read",
      "write",
      "delete"
    ]
  }'
]::json[];

output:

{"{
    \"appName\": \"UCRM\",
    \"scopes\": [
      \"read\",
      \"write\"
    ]
  }","{
    \"appName\": \"OCTA\",
    \"scopes\": [
      \"read\",
      \"write\",
      \"delete\"
    ]
  }"}
