I am using trying to setup an arbitrary GOP structure (a GOP structure other than hierarchical B or IPPP...) in HM-16.3. I fiddled around with the configuration file setting up the GOP pattern. However, I do not know how I can force the encoder to choose a particular reference frame from a list of reference frames in the reference picture set. Is this even possible in the reference encoder?

It is possible to change the GOP structure of the HM without manipulating the source code and only with the config parameters. You are right, it's way too complicated.
I can explain it here but surely I can not explain it as good as the way it is explained in the reference manual. And it seems that you've just done it with trial and error.
Take a look at this manual at page 3.
Also this is an example of how it works:
