Updated with UI text element not correct (same frame)

I have some code to set a custom with for a text element and then the height gets adjusted automatically like so:

 Title.SetTextContainerSize("autoH", 330);

 public void SetTextContainerSize(string fit, float dimension = 0)
     {
         if (UIElement.GetComponent<ContentSizeFitter>() == null)
             UISizeFitterComponent = UIElement.AddComponent(typeof(ContentSizeFitter)) as ContentSizeFitter;

         if (fit == "autoWH")
         {
             UISizeFitterComponent.horizontalFit = ContentSizeFitter.FitMode.PreferredSize;
             UISizeFitterComponent.verticalFit = ContentSizeFitter.FitMode.PreferredSize;
             base.SetDimensions( RectOptions.sizeDelta);
         }
         else if (fit == "autoW")
         {
             UISizeFitterComponent.horizontalFit = ContentSizeFitter.FitMode.PreferredSize;
             base.SetDimensions( new Vector2(RectOptions.rect.width, dimension));
         }
         else if (fit == "autoH")
         { //here is a problem.. 
             UISizeFitterComponent.verticalFit = ContentSizeFitter.FitMode.PreferredSize;
             Canvas.ForceUpdateCanvases();
             Debug.Log(new Vector2(dimension, RectOptions.rect.height));
             base.SetDimensions( new Vector2(dimension, RectOptions.rect.height));
         }
     }

Edit Added the set dimensions function

 public void SetDimensions(Vector2 dimensions)
     {
         RectOptions.sizeDelta = dimensions;
         Dimensions = dimensions; //this just sets the value of a property. 
     }

but when i call the function to update the text i get the following result from the Debug.Log() it says the width = 330 and the height is 2077. In this case the width is correct but the height is not even close.

See here a screenshot of the actual element and its correct height. enter image description here
