ticketed on United, flying on both United and LATAM.

Problem is - can't get seat assignments for the LATAM segments.
United says seats not available until check-in, and LATAM doesn't even recognize the record locator.

I tried signing up for LATAM FF program and adding the flight, but it still acts blind.

Any suggestions on how to get seats?

Thanks
get the LATAM record locator for UA. If you don't see it online you might have to call UA.
