Quantas worked to find IB PNR but cannot do seat selection

Thanks. Worked for me on Quantas. Got the IB record locator and found my flight on IB. But cannot do seat selection for IB flight.
It is a trip booked on AA as AA Economy Award, 2 flights on AA (until Madrid) than an IB flight. The 2 AA flights already have seats.
When I found my trip on IB (actually showed only second AA flight and IB flight) it said: Now you can book the seat on your flight for free.
But when I got to seat assignment page it said for the IB flight: This flight does not permit seat selection. (Also for the AA flight it shows).

Do I deserve to do advance seat selection on IB as an AA Platinum? Will it help calling IB?
