Laevus is a good word - means clumsy, awkward, unfavorable, unpropitious, etc.
Also means and came from 'left, on the left hand', so it's related in that sense to gauche and sinister.
As a confimed southpaw, it's just proof that the right-hand world has had it in for us all the way back to Roman times.

Kidding.
INCONCINNUS means awkward, clumsy.
You could also try RUDIS, which is the root of the English word 'rude.' It means clumsy, rough, uncultivated.

Your word is "inconcinnus"
It is the opposite of "concinnus", which means "well made", "neat", "elegant"

Without further context, I'd suggest ineptus, -a, -um, "unskilled, incompetent".
