The dummy booking you made would have been for a cheaper fare, hence only being able to access the rear seat map.
Don’t try and overthink where in the aircraft it might be full! The only thing you can say is that those who purchased more expensive fares have access to the full seatmap. Where they might elect to sit is impossible to predict…
