Misplaced modifier you can change it around to make it grammatically correct while a dangling modifier is not clearly stated

A dangling modifier is a phrase or clause that is not clearly and logically related to the word or words it modifies (i.e. is placed next to). Two notes about dangling modifiers: Unlike a misplaced modifier, a dangling modifier cannot be corrected by simply moving it to a different place in a sentence. hope this helps :)
