I don't know what you mean by "marked ua and ia wrong," but I also used kēnā instead of kēlā and was also cited for a misspelling, so I'm going to mark it "something else went wrong" and see what happens.

I'm having verb first, subject last confusion at this point when translating the English here. Any help?
You could think of "aia" as similar to the word "is" in English, but specifically when describing location (in space or time). Doing that, you're on the right track, the word "aia" comes first here, followed by the subject (kēlā mea pāʻani - that toy), an object marker (i) and then the object (ka lumi moe - the bedroom).
