Keyword add default location problem

I use keywords in LR.  When I attempt to add a new keyword to the master list, the keyword always adds the new keyword within Plants, within Flowers, for example.  I must have set the default location at some point but cannot find how to remove default location or change it.  Anyone with similar problem?

Check how you have configured the 'Create Keyword Tag' panel (see attached screenshot). In this example, with an existing keyword selected, then adding a new keyword will result in it being put inside the existing keyword. To avoid this, simply uncheck the 'Put inside "xxxxx"'

Ian, thanks for your prompt reply.  I kept playing about and found the culprit.  When I highlighted the keyword that the new keywords were placed beneath and then right clicked, I saw a check by the field which said "Put new keywords insdie this Keyword" my problem was rectified.  I've been struggling with this off and on for several months.  Thanks for your help.  I did see your suggestion, it was triggered my look into looking at the keyword the new keywords were attached to.
