Fed rule 3.3.6(e) says that if the DP plays defense for the flex, the flex is considered to have left the game. I guess I need some clarification because I was told I screwed up.

Yes, you did. What he wanted to do was legal.
He was putting DP on defense for the player at F7, who now bats only, and then moving FLEX to play left field and the DP in to pitch.
A coach can move his defensive players around any way he wants, can't he? That is all he was doing. No subsitutions involved. No one has left the game.
