I’ve waited for about 1.5 hours today with BA but no luck getting through, will attempt again this evening.

Also wondering if anyone has any tips on how to better get in contact with someone at BA to make this change other than calling their 800 number?

Thanks so much!
You aren't really upgrading in this circumstance but in reality the agent is creating a new avios booking in F and then cancelling your existing booking in J. To do this you will have to call.
