As far as I know the upgrade can be granted right up to the time that you board the aircraft (ie BP is scanned at the gate).

That is correct, I even walked to my 'old' seat not realising I was the recipient of an Op Up recently. The seat number just quietly changed on the app with no notice!

Checkin online and points upgrade

hi! I got a text this morning that my MEL-SIN upgrade was successful. I then checked in online 24hpurs before flight. I didn’t realise it also did my SIN-LHR leg. Can I still get an upgrade? I can also change my seats in Business but my economy seat I haven’t been given an option to change seats.
help!

Being checked in, no matter which method is no barrier for awarding of upgrades, award or op-up.

Fwiw, SIN-LHR upgrades are 10x harder to get than MEL-SIN. Being unable to change your seat assigment just means more than x% are allocated and the remaining seats are locked (can be used by staff for higher status bookings, either fare basis or FF status). That is pretty normal for SIN-LHR to sell out. Good luck with getting the upgrade but it runs pretty full and usually need WP or higher status, at least on popular dates.
