Thanks, this was useful, I will only add this in case someone else needs it. The correct payload for a service principal profile is the one below: 

{
  "datasourceAccessRight": "Read",
  "identifier": "{{Object ID}}", //fix, this is the enterprise application
  "principalType":"App", //enterprise application
  "profile": {
    "id": "{{Service Principal Profile ID}}",
    "displayName": "{{Service Principal Profile Name}}" //this is optional.
  }
  
}
