Well I can't say there's anything wrong here, the best way for you is to try the level yourself and see if enemy is standing on correct platform or not.
Also since you spawned enemy offscreen quite far, you might want to spawn them closer so you can see if they are spawned correctly. If they are standing too far offscreen, they might fall down platform before you can even see them.

OK. I thought of using group for enemies, but I didn't put group in the code. Also, I wanted to know if group is required for enemies in a platform area 'cause I remember you said it in Lavalit. I didn't know what would be in the right order of spawning with scrollpos. (Dunno if I clearly remember it.) That's my concern. I think I did test it out. The enemy seems okay I think.

You have to be very very careful with grouping. Not only because it might prevent platforms to appear but it controls how enemies are spawned and thus how the level would play.
Remember, 2D games especially platformers have different rule than 3D beat'm ups. The latter usually requires player to defeat all enemies to advance.
2D platformers however doesn't have this rule. Usually they only require player to reach end of level (doesn't matter how). Because of this rule, 2D platformer mostly have static enemies which only stand blocking path or stand somewhere shooting at players.
Alright, before I go deeper on this subject, I need to ask this 1st, what is the rule in your mod? defeat every single enemy in level or just reach the end of level?
The former require special design to make it stable while the latter is simple and easier to set.
