The sentence "Kei te kokonga mauī o waenganui te kākā" is close, but it needs a slight adjustment for clarity and naturalness in te reo Māori. Corrected version: Kei waenganui mauī te kākā. Explanation: Kei waenganui = in the middle; mauī = left. This construction is more natural and commonly used to describe spatial location. "Kokonga" means "corner," which doesn't quite fit the idea of "middle left".
