I purchased a pass a while back - whenever I go to book travel, I am stopped from selecting open seats. There is no option to do so? How on earth do I reserve seats in advance? This is absolutely maddening

It’s impossible to answer without knowing your route and dates, and which website you are trying.

The Interrail website isn’t necessarily the best place to make reservations. Seat61 has an excellent guide to how and where to reserve: https://www.seat61.com/interrail-and-eurail-reservations.htm

If you can't make it work using Seat61's information, then the minimum information needed is route, date and departure time.
