I think you might have to run the installer again and change the edition on the first page of the installer, going to add/remove programs and choosing the change option from there might work too.

 

also we have office 365 and have power BI basic, shouldnt we get power bi report server with it then? if so how do we acquire the license?

 

No. The only way to license the on-prem report server is to either purchase premium capacity in Power BI (you then get reciprocal rights to install the same number of on-prem cores of PBI Report Server) or you have to have an Enterprise license of SQL Server with Software Assurance (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/report-server/get-started#licensing-power-bi-report-server)
