Why is the subject coming after the object here, i.e, why isn't it: "Onlar bunu yapmiyor"

It was a forgotten alternative. If you have a plural subject, the suffix -lAr is optional on the verb. It is only required when you do not state your subject.
"Onlar geliyorlar"="Onlar geliyor"="Geliyorlar"
In my experience, it is more common to drop "-lar" if you state your plural subject :)

Thanks! Even when I think I know the rule, if it marks it wrong I get confused.

"this" is a direct definite object and has to be in accusative case

if you do not state "onlar" you must use the -lar suffix. Something has to mark a plural subject.
