On DnD Beyond, the Additional Magic Secrets for bards won't let you pick spells of a level above that which you get the class feature, even if you're high enough level for the spells.
For example, I wanted my 7th level bard to get Aura of Life, a 4th level spell, but it's not on the list (there's no 4th level spells on the list), even though I don't have any 4th level spells chosen from the bard list already.
The wording for Additional Magic Secrets states "Choose two spells from any classes, including this one. A spell you choose must be of a level you can cast, as shown on the Bard table, or a cantrip". It implicitly states it can be any spell that your bard can cast.
The Additional Magic Secrets that all bards get at level 11 does let you pick spells of 4th, 5th and 6th level, but no higher.
I believe that may be a bug, as it fixes the spells available for the feature at level at which you get Additional Secrets, regardless of your bard's actual level.
Additional Magical Secrets are chosen at 6th level, when you only have access to level 3 spells and below. There is no wording allowing for swapping out Magical Secrets spells at later levels, hence the limited range in each selection menu.
So here's a thing.
