Either way, your ruling is wrong. Any and all force plays were removed by the fielder making the catch. Neither R1 nor R2 is out on a force play. They are both out for committing a baserunning infractions - one missed base, one failure to tag up. Furthermore, the way I read 9-1-1 and 8-2-5 the defense is entitled to appeal in any order and select the out that gives them the best advantage, even when a force play is involved.
First off I always renumber the runners using FED Case plays because they are confusing. R1 is R1 meaning the runner on first base r2, r3 etc. To me that is easier to understand. FED Case Plays use R1 on second and R2 on first so IMO I simplified it.
As far as your second comment goes, Yes I misread the play and was thinking about something else. My Bad. In any event the order of appeals Does matter.
