What is the role of "About" in that sentence?

Okay, I got your point.

My exact point is two different prepositions modifying the same noun.

For example,

" The conflict about you inside the house is very bad. "

Some people said: "Inside the house" can not modify "you", so the only thing which "inside the house" can modify, is "the conflict". So, that's sentence correct.

Do you agree with them?
