Use the full render array path to the element. This includes things like delta, widget, etc.

$form['widget'][0]['value']['#value'] is not always the structure for all field types. I have provided a patch in the ticket below, it should cover the field structure in most cases.

https://cgit.drupalcode.org/prepopulate/tree/USAGE.md?h=8.x-2.x has some details on how to use this module. Perhaps it will assist with solving this issue here?
