Thivagar_Segar , thanks so much for the quick reply.

- Used List Content Types > Item as parent (not sure this is correct as I'm not that familiar with using Content Types) and put it in a New group.

Hi Oz,
it seems you have created the content type in correct way but i am not sure why the items are getting created at root level.
but i suggest you to have a look on the URL while creating a new item, the url format should be https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename/lists/listname/allitems.aspx?id=%2Fsites%2Fsitename%2FLists%2FListname%2Ffoldername
you can replace the above url format with your URL and find out what was the URL showing while creating the item.
