Adjective+noun+preposition OR noun+adjective+preposition

Hello everyone. We know that the following sentences are wrong.

1-) I am thinking about my happy friend about the exam.

(It should be "I am thinking about my friend who is happy about the exam")


2-) I am thinking about close countries to Hungary.

(It should be "I am thinking about countries which are close to Hungary") or (countries close to Hungary)


3-) I am thinking about the bought gift for me.

(It should be "I am thinking about the gift bought for me")

So my general opinion is that prepositional phrases and their adjectives should be together just as in the bracketed sentences. Therefore, I think that these ones are also not good in natural English.


1-) I am thinking about a difficult question for me.

(It should be "I am thinking about a question which is difficult for me)


2-) I am thinking of buying the best computer game for me.

(It should be "Buying the computer game which is the best for me)

and etc. Finally, Can you agree with me on that? Thank you very much in advance.
