But on the asia miles site, there is no way to find the route, in fact i cant even get any flights from MCO for Kul as destination. It would have to start from LAX for it to even search. So how the heck do I get to LA from Orlando then? The Orlando to LA part would have been on AA so that would be two partners and cathay right?

I think you have too many sectors in your itinerary. For this round-trip award, it should be max two sectors each way. You should check the full T&C on the Asia Miles website.

Yes, you have too many sectors, and yes, sector is the official term (as opposed to "leg"). While you can use AA+CX in an award, for a round-trip you can only have 4 sectors, one-way 2. You will either need to book 2 awards or use the oneworld multi-carrier award (note: 2 transits max).
Since you are not familiar with the rules, I suggest that you go through
https://www.asiamiles.com/en/redeem-...ard-chart.html,
https://www.asiamiles.com/en/terms-a...onditions.html,
https://www.asiamiles.com/en/terms-a...er-awards.html, and
https://www.asiamiles.com/en/terms-a...rd-awards.html first
AA flights cannot be redeemed online, so you must call and expect a long wait.
