When I run the command to update the firmware it states to manually be put in update mode. I've searched for an explanation but can't find anything that helps.

As suggested here the problem is most likely caused by the version of fwupd being too old and no longer supported. The fix, suggested both on that issue and here is to boot from a live media with a newer version of fwupd and to upgrade using that version. Please see the latter answer for details on how to do that.
[Later Edit]: Even though I tried the above with Ubuntu 18.04 and it updated successfully, after booting back to Ubuntu 16.04 the update was still showing up. I eventually updated the firmware via a Windows machine and the software from here. I am not certain that that is the latest version (as the software did not report the firmware version) but the Ubuntu update did disappear afterwards.
