Great quiz, however, I don't know how Aragon would manage to capture Balkan countries.

Thanks! Those are the territories that were held by the Duchy of St. Sava, which willingly became a vassal of Aragon.

They were, albeit indirectly. The Duchy of St. Sava (or Herzegovina) voluntarily submitted to the king of Aragon for protection.

Concerning vassals of Aragón, you could add a couple more territories: the League of Lezhe (in modern Albania) as Skanderberg vassalize it by the treaty of Gaeta (1451) and the Despotate of Epirus (with the County of Cephalonia and Zakynthos) per the confirmation grant that Leonardo III Tocco received from Alfonso V (1452).

Also, the Pope gave the island of Kastellorizo, off the coast of modern Turkey, to Aragón in 1451 that retained it until 1512 to the Ottomans.
