Usage of 'where'

Hello, experts!

I'm back here with another question related to the usage of 'where' as a relative adverb.

I'm wondering if you could help... I need help. I would very much appreciate it if you could help me.

Do you think 'where' works in the following two sentences as a relative adverb?

I don't think it works there.

I don't think knowledge and understanding can be a mental spatial conception which can be put into 'where', a relative adverb in sentence No.1.

I don't think ignorance can be a mental spatial conception that can be be put into 'where', a relative adverb in sentence No.2, either.
