As you select your champion, in my case Pelagos, the way to select your opponent and difficulty is the pillar to your left and back where you first entered the instance. Your mouse will turn into a cog icon.

I walked around that place, not putting my mouse on anything looking for a person to select. Waste of time.

Don't forget to talk to the Ascended (owl like creature) to get a buff. He offers 4, you can only equip one at a time.
