If it was you are eligible for EU261 from BA (the operating carrier) - not AA (as they were just acting as your travel agent)..
Correct. You have to be properly ticketed (not only for the flight but for the right cabin) for EU261 to apply. And yes it would be BA as operating carrier who would be responsible in those circumstances.

But BA obviously believe OP wasn't properly ticketed hence their response re no downgrade reimbursement.
