The example was for a relatively shallow source object (not nested objects in the properties).

Here's a version that will go 2 levels deep into the source object, and should work with your data:

$data = @{}

foreach ($propL1 in $x.psobject.properties.name)
   {
     $data[$propL1] = @{}
     foreach ($propL2 in $x.$propL1.psobject.properties.name)
        {
          $data[$PropL1][$PropL2] = $x.$propL1.$propL2
        }
    }


$data.root.keys
