I don't use latex-preview-pane, but my understanding is that
forward/backward search is not possible by design.  latex-preview-pane
uses doc-view.el which converts pdf files to png images via ghostscript.
>From doc-view.el:

    ;;; Commentary:

    ;; DocView is a document viewer for Emacs.  It converts a number of
    ;; document formats (including PDF, PS, DVI, Djvu and ODF files) to a
    ;; set of PNG files, one PNG for each page, and displays the PNG
    ;; images inside an Emacs buffer.

I think pdf-tools is more appropriate for your requirements.

AUCTeX has support for pdf-tools builtin.
