I don't think the x2 of mlana means what you think it means.

x2 is something that x1 is to the side of, not the thing it's a part of which it is the side part of.

Perhaps we need a mlana pagbu lujvo?

In principle {mlana} can be either. The same happens with all the other spatial relationship words, although the wording of the definitions is not always as clear as could be. {cnita} for example has a note: "also underside". A lujvo with {pagbu} won't hurt though. mlapau: x1 pagbu x2 gi'e mlana x2 x3 x4

Done. In English, anyways.

Doesn't this need a gadri at the beginning to make the "poi" work?

As far as I can tell, all but the last of these are sentences, whereas the original English is a noun phrase with prepositional modifiers.
