Good day @kotleon1986gn,
Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.
NOT_ENABLED_TO_VAULT_PAYMENT_SOURCE : The API caller or the merchant on whose behalf the API call is initiated is not allowed to vault the given source. Please contact PayPal customer support for assistance. Authorization failed due to insufficient permissions.

For LIVE integration, I would suggest to please contact our PayPal Customer service via link - https://www.paypal.com/smarthelp/contact-us (then choose at the bottom one of the contact methods - email or phone) who should be able to help you regarding the request.
They will be able to assist you further as they are specially trained to address this type of account inquiry.
Sincerely,
Chiranjeevi
