Hi Arjun,
There is a port conversion feature (uplink to downlink or vice-versa) available in ACI which is needed here.
But this feature is introduced from ACI version 3.1(1) only. So if you are running 3.1(1) or higher, then you can use 4 ports out of 6 uplink ports as downlink. Please note that port no. 53 and 54 cant be converted, so they will always we uplink ports.
Configuration steps would be like:
Fabric -> Inventory -> Expand Pod<#> -> Select Leaf-# -> Interface Tab (on right) -> Change Mode to Configuration(drop down on right side) -> Select Interface -> Click on Downlink option above -> Submit(on pop up window)
Note: For this change to take effect, switch will require a reload. Be careful while making this change in production setup. You will also get the option of "Submit and Reload Switch" on the pop up window at the end.

I am having the same problem - getting the same faults F0849, ACI 4.1(1j).
I have connected two FI-6332-16UP to ports 1&2 on 2x93180LC-EX (Leaf 1 and Leaf 2) via two separate LACP VPCs. The VPCs are formed and everything seems to be functioning. What is the downside of this?
Also, if I try to follow your directions, the Downlink button is grayed out. Should I be worried about it or just ignore it and continue with my life?:
