She said my original booking class was S so to do SDC both E and S must be available.

Is this true? I haven’t called back yet to speak to another agent.
I would call and speak to a different agent. With First Class, you need original booking class, but with Main Cabin you don't.
Alternatively, have you tried doing a same-day change online? I'm not sure it'll work since you're already upgraded, but it's probably worth checking.
