"Woonplaats" is the city or town you live in. "Adres" is usually the street name and house number. In particular, this is a distinction you might find on forms. In everyday language, "adres" often includes the "woonplaats", as well as the postcode (aka zip/postal code).

I just assumed one was a "mailing address" and the other was "home." Thanks!

In American English, the city, state, and ZIP code (postal code) are usually assumed to be part of the address. 'Street address' implies just the house number and street, and 'place of residence' would get some quizzical looks, because it's assumed to mean the same thing as 'address/home address'.

The audio has the w in "uw" pronounced, so it sounds like "u wadres". Is this wrong?
There's a natural flow between uw and adres. So yes it is possible that at normal speed you hear uwadres or something similar.

I don't really see why "you must" is not possible. The distinction in English does not translate to Dutch, at least not for the modal verbs
"You must" is accepted. If it is marked wrong for you, please share a screenshot so that we can figure out the problem.
