Many thanks, VSLover! Would love to solve for the general case too :-)
It's after Passenger Details (so where you put your date of birth) and before the payment screen. However! The flight still needs to be in Amadeus and not in FLY, and flights get migrated to FLY 3 days before departure, so this particular example has long been on FLY. FLY (aka Altéa Suite) has it's own seating functionality including Theoretical Seating (see separate thread), this is still visible from T-72 to T-25 for those with status, but at T-24 it's under Airport Control and thus only visible via OLCI.
Maybe this is an obvious point to make but if this really is a regular problem then pay up for EF? And if it's not a regular problem then use FT instead? There is a dedicated thread for this, and both the TS and Seating threads can be found via the BA Forum Dashboard.
