update additional field on user object via route handler

in my route handler, how can i update this additional value? is there a method in the api, or do i just update the document by querying mongodb:

user: {
        additionalFields: {
           
            raw_data_mongo_ref_id: {
                type: "string",
                required: false,
                default: "null",
                input: false, // don't allow users to set this value
            },
        },
    },

user: {
        additionalFields: {
           
            raw_data_mongo_ref_id: {
                type: "string",
                required: false,
                default: "null",
                input: false, // don't allow users to set this value
            },
        },
    },

in a database after hook you could set this

So after they save something to db, do I make a after hook? And in that it edits the database field of the user array in mongo? What would the condition to run it be
