Then again I'm not familiar with go to gate (looks like the reviews on the Internet arent favourable), so perhaps the process with them is special.
OTAs generally can't compel airlines to change their schedules.

Once a flight is under airport control (e.g. after checkin or within 24 hours), the operating carrier is responsible for making things happen.

It seems like the airline is okay with the schedule change, but the OTA isn't and has advised the OP of this.
