lightning, army of one
Lightning, Army of One triggered, Taii Wakeen, Perfect Shot was activated for 4, I cast Plasma Bolt for 2 targetting my opponent at 11 life, opponent has no abilities or effects or spells, goes from 11 to 3. I thought since I had priority and owned the actives, I would see more than 8 damage dealt. (2 dmg spell + 4 dmg taii x 2 = 12. yes, i know math multiplies 1st, but then why would i not be able to apply that to either or both in this instance due to active effect from Army of One and ownership). please explain what i didnt know or fix, ty.

It is the affected player or controller of the affected permanent that chooses the order in which replacement effects are applied. Therefore, you did not get to choose to apply Taii Wakeen first. Your opponent as the affected player got to choose to apply Lightning, Army of One first.
616.1. If two or more replacement and/or prevention effects are attempting to modify the way an event
affects an object or player, the affected object’s controller (or its owner if it has no controller) or the
affected player chooses one to apply, following the steps listed below. If two or more players have
to make these choices at the same time, choices are made in APNAP order (see rule 101.4).
