I said "sono andati recentemente al museo" and lost a heart. Is word order really so important in Italy?

I put 'Sono andate', thinking of a group of women, and lost a heart. :( Is that not also correct for 'they', with the past participle agreeing in number and gender with the subject, because the auxilliary verb is essere?
whoo-oo! Glad to report that I keep my heart today with:
sono andate al museo recentemente

Despite adverbs customarily following right after the verbs they modify Duo marked wrong: ,,,Sono andati recentemente al museo,,, I reported it.
I was marked wrong for using andavano - is that actually incorrect, and can someone explain why?
I think "andavano" is more like "were they going to the museum..." something that took place in the past , but maybe over a long stretch of time, like with frequency or habit. They did it often. "Sono andati" would express an event that occurred maybe once.
The adverb definitely comes after the verb which in this case is andati
Could anybody with a solid understanding please explain when the adverb modifies the verb and when it does to the sentence?
