I actually need to make a tree diagram with that sentence and the way we have been taught is to use NP, VP, and PP not O and A. Any thoughts?

I think that your sentence should be analysed as follow:
[The people in the garage]: NP ([created] [many problems] [for the boy with the bike]):VP
DET+ NOM Vgrp NP PP
DET+ (N + PP) [Ditrans] [dO] [iO]
(AUX
