I'm having trouble using form_set_error with profile2 fields.

I have a First name and Second name profile2 fields added to my register form. These come through as:
$form_state['values']['profile_public']['und'][0]['value'] and appear on the page as:

<input class="text-full form-text" type="text" id="edit-profile-public-field-first-name-und-0-value" name="profile_public[field_first_name][und][0][value]" value="name 3" size="60" maxlength="50">

form_set_error doesn't seem to be able to target these fields using the following code:

 function mymodule_user_form_user_register_form_validate($form, &$form_state) {
  
  // Create a temporary profile2 container so we can validate our fields without $language.
  // This is a belt and braces approach - TODO: Explore more elegant way to check entity fields within $form_state['values'] without $language.
  $profile2 = profile_create(array('type' => 'public', 'uid' => 0));
  $profile2->field_first_name = $form_state['values']['profile_public']['field_first_name'];
  $profile2->field_second_name = $form_state['values']['profile_public']['field_second_name'];
  
  // Now we can get the values without knowing the language code.
  $field_first_name = field_get_items('profile2', $profile2, 'field_first_name');
  $field_second_name = field_get_items('profile2', $profile2, 'field_second_name');
  
  if(!$field_first_name[0]['value']) {
    form_set_error('profile_public[field_first_name][und][0][value', 'Please enter your first name.');
  }
  if (!$field_second_name[0]['value']) {
    form_set_error('profile_public[field_second_name][und][0][value', 'Please enter your second name.');
  }
}

Has anyone found a workaround or am I missing something maybe?

Here is the solution I found. 

//form_set_error('profile_PROFILETYPE][FIELD', 'MESSAGE');
//In your case PROFILETYPE is public
//for the first name field
form_set_error('profile_public][field_first_name', 'Please enter your first name.');

//same for others fields

//for the first name field
form_set_error('profile_public][field_second_name', 'Please enter your second name.');

Thank you.
