Hidden Wallet of Question Mark

After recent events, Question Mark is annoyed with his brother, Skid Mark. Skid thought it would be funny to hide Question's wallet. 

He told Question that he would get it back if he finds it. So, first off, Skid laid five colored keys in a row. One of them is a key to a room where Skid is hiding Question's wallet. 

Using the clues, can you determine the order of the keys and which is the right key? 

Red: This key is somewhere to the left of the key to the door. 

Blue: This key is not at one of the ends. 

Green: This key is three spaces away from the key to the door (2 between).

Yellow: This key is next to the key to the door. 

Orange: This key is in the middle.

Since as per Clue No.4, yellow key is next to the key to the door, the key to the door can't be positioned at 2 or 5. Hence, it might be positioned at 1 or 4 with Green key at 4 or 1.

But as per Clue No.1, red key is somewhere to the left of the key to the door. For that, the right key can't be positioned at 1 as in that case, no position would be left for the red key as per clue.

Hence, Green key must be at 1 and right key at 4.
