You can’t exchange objects. There doesn‘t exists a universal container to hold classes of objects you can replace.
You can

put objects to same locations,
set a rank in a tree previous or next to another object
rebuild new connections (in / out / center) by data of existing objects

You can do this all by FlexScript. Unfortunately you try to replace a Fixed Resource Class object by a module class object which behaves only optionally like a fixed resource.

Here is an example of how the code might look. The following copies an existing object (so you can set properties that will be shared between the racks beforehand, such as dimension for example). It then sets the location in the model and the tree and copies the send to port logic and connections to the new object.

Object queue = Model.find("QueueName");
Object storage = Model.find("RackName");
 
// Create copy
Object copy = createcopy(storage, queue.up);
// Copy location, tree rank and sendtoport
copy.location = queue.location;
copy.rank = queue.rank + 1;
copy.setVariable("sendtoport", queue.getVariable("sendtoport"));
// Copy connections
for(int in = 1; in <= queue.inObjects.length; in++)
{
    contextdragconnection(queue.inObjects[in], copy, "A");
}
for(int center = 1; center <= queue.centerObjects.length; center++)
{
    contextdragconnection(queue.centerObjects[center], copy, "S");
}
for(int out = 1; out <= queue.outObjects.length; out++)
{
    contextdragconnection(copy, queue.outObjects[out], "A");
}

You would be better to transfer the connection nodes which will then preserve any port ranks on the other objects.

/**transferConnections() user command*/
//  useage: transferConnections(fromobj, toobj)
 
Object from=param(1);
Object target=param(2);
 
while (connectionscenter(from).subnodes.length)
    transfernode(connectionscenter(from).first,connectionscenter(target));
 
 
while (connectionsin(from).subnodes.length)
    transfernode(connectionsin(from).first,connectionsin(target));
 
 
while (connectionsout(from).subnodes.length)
    transfernode(connectionsout(from).first,connectionsout(target));
