How to add/put address with MailChimp API?

I just cannot add an Address with the API. I managed to update every other column type, but not the address one.

I tried two ways:

$array['ADDRESS']['addr1'] = 'Amara Locks 12588'
...

But this approach didn't work. I got the error message:

400: The resource submitted could not be validated. For field-specific details, see the 'errors' array.

Because of this post I thought I needed to convert it to JSON. It worked for not getting any errors, but the field address stays empty in MailChimp.

Just for an example how the array looks like:

["ADDRESS"]=>
string(124) "{"country":"DE","addr1":"Amara Locks 12588","addr2":"Second Floor","state":"North Dakota","city":"East Kadin","zip":"33183"}"

@Philipp Mochine answer is correct.This answer is for all those PHP developer who are 
looking for complete array structure.
array:2 [
"email_address" => "[email protected]"
"merge_fields" => array:4 [
"FNAME" => "Hassan"
"LNAME" => "Tahir"
"PHONE" => ""
"ADDRESS" => array:6 [
  "addr1" => "81 street"
  "addr2" => "house no 2"
  "city" => "Lahore"
  "state" => "Punjab"
  "zip" => "54000"
  "country" => "Pakistan"
]]
]

So for future readers. Yes the first way was the correct one. But my problem was that some of the values were null, so you need to remove them, e.g. 

 $array['ADDRESS']['addr1'] = $address ?? '';
