Use the ,@ expansion instead of just ,

See the Elisp manual, section "Macros" for more information.  It's
really not that complicated, and you'll understand it better from the
many examples.  I tried to avoid it for a while, and my code turned
out much uglier without macros :)

Here's an example that returns (1 5 6 2 3) because the (list) function
call is flattened by the ,@ operator.

`(1 ,@(list 5 6) 2 3)

That should be exactly what you need.
