Hey at least you are able to reflect on what you might have done to miss the offer, that's a good attitude to have. 

The reality is that everyone is going to fail an interview at some point. It's going to sting for a bit (especially now as you're sitting there thinking about the role you wish you had) but just pick yourself up and get back on the horse. You're obviously a strong enough candidate to make it to the SD in the first place.

My specific advice would be to mock behaviorals heavily. Tell the mock interviewer the same thing you told us here about wanting to make sure you're not domineering or weird. Make sure it's someone who will give you honest feedback. 

 

Don’t beat yourself up about it. Learn from your mistakes and try again. I messed up a commercial banking superday at a BB and didn’t get it, few weeks later I got a superday in IB at the same bank, prepared even more, and got the offer. It’s not the end of the world, you got it.

 

are we really gonna start guiding people on how to "behave on a superday?". 

In before assessment centre walk-throughs become the norm.

Just be normal and likeable. You'll be fine.

 

Exactly my thoughts, and as much effort as I put in to work on ACs, I got all the info online. It's all out there, within a few hours of searching you can collate all the tips needed.
