Yes you are right. Relative pronoun modifier 'which' refers to the closest noun, However, there is an exception to this rule. If there is a prepositional phrase giving additional information about that noun and which cannot be placed anywhere else in the sentence, This structure is acceptable.
Structure of the exception goes like this- Noun additional information about noun Relative pronoun modifiers
Remember that additional information about noun should not result in ambiguity and cannot be placed anywhere in the sentence for this exception to work

Hi Pmista, which cannot refer to Hamlet, because which can only refer to non-persons, while Hamlet is (obviously) a person.
