In order to reduce his weight, 5 hours of exercise were put in everyday by Sam.
Source - Aristrotle-SC Grail (words modified)
The above sentence has misplaced modifier
In order to reduce his weight, 5 hours of exercise were put in every day by Sam
So bring "Sam" near to the 1st phrase to ensure this issue is resolved
In order to reduce his weight, Sam put in 5 hours of exercise every day.
My question -
"5 hours of exercise" should also be modified by "every day", right ?
In order to reduce his weight, Sam put in 5 hours of exercise every day.
I want to make sure this is also one of the extra errors in the sentence.
So if I rephrase the sentence to get this error -
Every day Sam, who was trying to reduce his weight, put in 5 hours of exercise.
Sam, who was trying to reduce his weight, put in 5 hours of exercise every day.
The second option is the correct one.
Experts - Can you confirm if my thought process is correct and pour in any additional thoughts ?

Another question related to Participial phrases under misplaced modifier :
Formed in 2004, The GMAT Club is one of the most visited sites today.
The GMAT Club, formed in 2004, is one of the most visited sites today.
The GMAT Club, that was formed in 2004, is one of the most visited sites today.
Which one of the above is correct/ all are correct?
I believe that all are correct because but if The GMAT Club is replaced by a person, then -
Born in 2004, it is surprising that Maggie is considered too old for her class
Misplaced modifier - so corrected version
Born in 2004, Maggie surprisingly is considered too old for her class.
Some variations -
Maggie, born in 2004, surprisingly is considered too old for her class.
Maggie, who was born in 2004, surprisingly is considered too old for her class.
Which one of the above are correct/ both are correct?
I believe that 2nd one because “born in 2004” cannot modify Maggie properly if it comes after Maggie without a WHO for person.
It works correctly for non-persons.
Before Maggie, it is fine because the modifiers work correctly.
I know this is a concept of participial phrases. But it will be easy if explanations keep fancy grammar terms out.

I think MGMAT-SC(4th Ed.) has something related to this under Relative Clauses vs Participles - p236
But it is related to a general person and not a specific noun.
Experts - your comments please ?

Folks - No comments...???
I am putting down an interesting point that I got just now:
"everyday" and "every day"
every day - adverbial phrase that tells us how often something takes place.
everyday - adjective meaning 'ordinary' or 'commonplace'. eg: everyday job
So the original sentence -
In order to reduce his weight, 5 hours of exercise were put in everyday by Sam.
So there is one more error - everyday is wrongly used
Hell - 3 errors - cannot believe it.
