The fare classes you've shown above are for "Flex" and "Elite" awards.
Such awards no longer exist (since 1 Jun 2018); when they did, they were only bookable by FB members, at twice the "normal" rates. They were never made available for booking by partners.
FB has since changed to a new paradigm, where
every seat is bookable by FB members, for increasing mileage amounts.

Unfortunately, it is. As you've proved by showing that partners do not see the availability open to FB members.
Your Skymiles/Millemiglia miles would be better used on a ticket more appropriate to these FFPs.
