I called in and asked an agent but they said thats not possible without cancelling and rebooking which I don't want to do (we all know how hard it is to find award availability).
Any tips on getting this to happen before my trip so I can book destination hotels accordingly?
There would need to be award availability on the later flight for it to be at all possible. The other part is that it matter what miles you booked the award with, as different airline programs may have different rules regarding changes. Did you book through Qatar Privilege Club?
Your ticket will not include access to Al Safwa, but the Al Mourjan Lounges. While they are nice lounges, I am not sure I would want to add over 5 hours to my stop just experience a lounge. Of course there are two, but maybe do one in either direction if you are returning through Doha.
And welcome to Flyertalk, I see that it is your first post. I hope you stick around, we are mostly a helpful bunch. And even if we are a bit snarky at times, it is usually meant well.
