Hang up and call again. This is allowed for $100 if CX has inventory, which may differ from what EF is showing. I've called CX about this on 3+ tickets (booked on Orbitz) and didn't have issue changing them to a different date.

The hard part is changing the original outbound Vietnam-NA flights, seems to be only around 5-10% success rate.
