You should be able to, but you will need to pay their railfare. Sleeper fare structure is:
rail fare for each passenger (minimum coach fare for the city pair you are traveling) PLUS Room Charge.
So if for example rail fare is $25, and sleeper is $75, total cost for one person is $25+$75=$100, for 2 people it would be $25+$25+$75=$125.

And you only can only guarantee the left side or right side by booking a room in the transition sleeper, because Amtrak doesn't have the discipline to marshal other sleepers in a consistent direction.
Call an agent to change rooms. If they tell you there will be a fee, tell them not to do anything and hang up and call again. A more experienced agent will be able to do this without any additional charge.
