How to set the isPrimary role of a contact attached to an order?

Question

I'm not sure why I'm having so much trouble with this. But I've never worked with the Salesforce API and from my understanding, this should be working, but it is not.

I have looked at AccountContactRole to double check the data types etc, but it seems to still be adding the default values to the AccountContactRole when I create the contact.

Here is the function where I have this code.

    function createContact(){
    $name  = $this->contact->billing_name;
    $names = explode(" ", $name);

    $contact = array();
    $contact[0] = new stdclass();
    $contact[0]->AccountId = $this->accountId; // Account Name
    $contact[0]->FirstName = isset($names[0]) ? $names[0] : "";
    $contact[0]->LastName = isset($names[1]) ? $names[1] : "";
    $contact[0]->Phone = $this->contact->billing_phone;
    $contact[0]->MailingStreet = $this->contact->billing_address1 . " " . $this->contact->billing_address2;
    $contact[0]->MailingCity = $this->contact->billing_city;
    $contact[0]->MailingState = $this->contact->billing_state;
    $contact[0]->MailingPostalCode = $this->contact->billing_zip;
    $contact[0]->MailingCountry = $this->contact->billing_country;
    $contact[0]->Email = $this->contact->email;

    $response = $this->mySforceConnection->create($contact, 'Contact');
    if(isset($response[0]->id)){
        $this->contactId = $response[0]->id;
    }
//ADD account contact as IsPrimary

    $acctRole=array();
    $acctRole[0] = new stdclass();
    $acctRole[0]->AccountId=$this->accountId;
    $acctRole[0]->ContactId=$this->contactId;
    $acctRole[0]->IsDeleted=false;
    $acctRole[0]->Role="Buyer";
    $acctRole[0]->IsPrimary=true;
    $response = $this->mySforceConnection->create($acctRole, 'AccountContactRole');
    if(isset($response[0]->id)){
        $this->contactId = $response[0]->id;
    }
}

EDIT: I wanted to just update more thoughts on this. I really hope somebody can chime in. This just seems to be ignoring any of the data I have placed inside the array. It write the same information whether I write it or not, why is that? If I fix that, then this should work. I really don't understand why it's not working as-is.

Well today I found the solution to my own question. It appears I cannot set the IsPrimary function on the AccoutnContactRole level but instead I had to place it when adding the contact to the opportunity at the OpportunityContactRole level.
