My ticket is a Fare Type V... so I dont understand how i cant get a seat assignment.
Ignoring where you purchased the ticket from, for the paid journey are you booked on an AA codeshare flight number or a Cathay Pacific flight number ? This could potentially make a difference

For the award booking, this will be in X class which is not on the list of eligible fare types
