I don't understand this use of the verb "acknowledge". It's possible that you need a different way to say this.

(The grammar is OK in either sentence, however. Sentence 2 has the advantage of being more succinct.)

The meaning of this sentence is perplexing, at least not clear. What do you mean by "acknowledge"? Without additional context, it is difficult for people to help you.
