Hot Spots - I can click anywhere and incorrect answer

I know this was posted quite a while ago; however, I just came across it as I was having the same problem.  I wanted to create a hotspot question in Storyline but unfortunately it allowed the user to click anywhere on the screen - and counted that against them in the number of attempts submitted.

MY SOLUTION:
I created a new hotspot over the areas on the screen that I did not want included in the hotspot submission.  When the user clicked that hotspot I triggered a layer to appear with a basic pop up that said, "Please click the buttons on the right."  Obviously you would customize the pop up to direct the user to wherever it is you need to direct them.  Then, after the pop up appeared and the user clicked to close that layer, they would proceed to the actual hotspot quiz question.

I hope this all makes sense and helps any future developers having the same problem.
