Orbital swap with spin orbit DFT

Hi,

I am trying to swap two orbitals (one occupied and the other unoccupied) to create an excited state at a 3 atom Pt cluster and optimize it with SO-DFT. I used the following input structure which previously worked for non-SO DFT, but could not get the achieved swapping. Is orbital swap possible with SODFT? Is there any other way to create excited state? Thanks.
