It looks like you're trying to hold a running job, which isn't possible.

I see from the Slurm FAQ that you should be able to use "scontrol requeuehold" 
for what you are trying to achieve.

https://slurm.schedmd.com/faq.html#req

# Slurm supports requeuing jobs in a hold state with the command:
#
# scontrol requeuehold job_id
#
# The job can be in state RUNNING, SUSPENDED, COMPLETED or FAILED before
# being requeued.

Best of luck,
Chris
