*As per below note from addCampaign page -
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/latest/CampaignService.NetworkSetting
Note:* Setting targetContentContextual for new campaigns or existing
campaigns that have enabled Flexible Reach (
TargetRestrictSetting.useAdGroup=true) will fail with
TargetError.CANNOT_MODIFY_CONTENT_CONTEXTUAL.
As per the above note, I'm setting useAdGroup to false. But still the API
complains about networkSettings. I thought useAdgroup with false value
would respect network settings.

Please let me know the problem here.
