How To Correctly Use Patch Request (Mongoose & Express)

I have a patch request that updates the status of the order. I have organized the statuses in an array in a MongoDB database. This code is working properly but I am wondering if this way of updating is correct. Should I use any operators like $set? I am using Mongoose and Express and NodeJS btw.

Here is the code:

module.exports.updateStatus = async (req, res) => {
    const { orderid } = req.params;
    const { heading } = req.body;

    const order = await Order.findById(orderid);
    for (let i = 0; i < order.status.length; i++) {
        if (order.status[i].heading === 'Arrived At Location') {
            req.flash('error', 'Order is already marked as fulfilled.');
            return res.redirect(`/orders/${orderid}`);
        }
    }
    order.status.push({ heading, date: new Date() });
    await order.save();
    res.redirect(`/orders/${orderid}`);
}

Thanks in advance!
