What you have seems to reverse what you want.
Power is gold and knowledge.
Potestas is singular and est is the singular verb, so it follows that ‘potestas’ is the subject of the verb.
Aurum scientiaque potestas sunt.
Here you have gold and knowledge (linked as a pair by the
-que), a plural subject, with ‘sunt’, the plural verb.
Gold and knowledge are power.

Aurum et Scientia Potentia est
or….
Aurum Scientiaque Potentia est
or you can move the words around into the same order as the phrase in english. in latin, you can move the words around…it wont really matter (except action verbs are usually at the end of the sentence)
