getting error 415 Unsupported Media Type when sending SMS with sandbox app

Im getting error 415 Unsupported Media Type when sending SMS with sandbox app

APP ID VRbX8zVSRVeOvf0SoKM_1Q

I know my credentials are correct because I can 'GET' the messages I sent using the "try it out"
this is the body of the Json request

{
  "to": [{"phoneNumber": "+15555552586"}],
  "from": {"phoneNumber": "+15555552434"},
  "text": "The ARG is blank"
}

I am using the correct number and extension.
here is the header of the last request

{
  Server: nginx
  Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2022 02:21:20 GMT
  Connection: keep-alive
  RCRequestId: 2865d8f2-773c-11ec-84a0-005056bb9f38

Based on your app analytics, I see you have 2 successful /sms POST calls, and other calls failed with 400, 401 and 513. Can you check and compare what did you change in your code that caused the failure?

as far as I can tell, I never got a successful post. can those success posts be the 'try it out' posts?

Then again, I believe that it's your PowerShell code that could convert the data in wrong format. Can you remove the plus sign from the number and try again.

I did test with the + and it made no difference, and the powershell code does work with HighVolume SMS, so I dont see why it would not work with regular SMS
This is how the powershell outputs to JSON

$AuthBodyTxt   = [pscustomobject]@{"from" = @{"phoneNumber"    = "+15555552434"};
                    "to"    = @(@{"phoneNumber"    = "+15555552586"});
                    "text"     = "$($message)"
}
 $AuthBodyTxt|ConvertTo-JSON -Depth 3
#------------
{
  "to": [
    {
      "phoneNumber": "+15555552434"
    }
  ],
  "from": {
    "phoneNumber": "+15555552586"
  },
  "text": "Test Message is blank"
}

I then just created the format without using ConvertTo-Json like this

 $nojson = "{
    $([char]34)to$([char]34): [{$([char]34)phoneNumber$([char]34): $([char]34)+15555552434$([char]34)}],
    $([char]34)from$([char]34): {$([char]34)phoneNumber$([char]34): $([char]34)+15555552586$([char]34)},
    $([char]34)text$([char]34): $([char]34)Test Message$([char]34)
  }"
  write-host $nojson
{
    "to": [{"phoneNumber": "+15555552434"}],
    "from": {"phoneNumber": "+15555552586"},
    "text": "The ARG is blank"
  }

which gives the exact format shown in the reference guide. When search for unsupported media type

When searched for unsupported media type, I found someone saying that the Content-Type is not correct. This is what I have in my header

  $Header = @{"ContentType" = 'application/json'
            "accept" = "application/json"
            "authorization" = "Bearer $Bearer"
            }

is that correct?
