Authorizenet Aim Extension and TLSv1.2 - How To Upgrade HELP

OpenCart version 1.5.5.1
Authorizenet aim extension

I have a couple of questions about the module. I and several others have posted in the forums about the extension and TLS v1.2 capabilities. On June 30th eProcessing is requiring that all transactions use TLS v1.2.

Question 1: Does this line request the version being used and automatically set the version for the extension?
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);

Question 2: If the version is not automatically set, eProcessing sent out this PHP snippet to be added to the file:
curl_setopt($curl_request, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_2);
Where in the authorizenet aim PHP should this be placed? Should it replace the line in question 1?

This has to be working before the June 30th deadline

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Allen

We are going with a payment module that uses the eProcessing web order form for payments. All CC info is inputted on the eProcessing web site.
Thanks,
