The seat descriptions for aircraft with fly many route types tend to be buggy - I've definitely seen 77Gs say "United Polaris business" from time to time.

As has been mentioned upthread, United does not oversell the premium cabins. On the 77G, 1AB are blocked for crew rest and will be released approximately 60 hours before departure when a tail number is assigned to the flight. Did you buy the last two tickets in F? This is the likely cause.
If you have a specific flt/date then I can look at that.

I believe UA ops at LIH are exclusively 752, which are now all lie-flat. It's a short runway and a long way to the West Coast.
