AA.com definitely won't show any and all available award flights depending on a bunch of factors, especially true when searching more complex routings as seems to be the case here.

Your best bet is to just put what you have on hold (including the earlier LHR-BUD), then call AA and ask to change the last flight to the later LHR-BUD. I would obviously verify that there's award availability on that later flight first (just search it separately).

That said, a 70 min T3-T3 connection really wouldn't bother me at all. Flying to LHR with close to an on time departure you'll typically arrive 10-20 mins early.
