Rule ModifierArgumentPosition

Ensure that Modifier is used as a last argument:

@Composable
fun MyScreen(
    modifier: Modifier,
    text: String
) {
    Column(
        modifier = modifier // ❌ wrong: it's used in the first argument
            .background(Color.LightGray)
            .border(1.dp, Color.DarkGray)
            .padding(16.dp),
        verticalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(32.dp),
        horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CenterHorizontally
    ) {
        Icon(Icons.Outlined.Face, null)
        Text(text)
    }
}

Should be replaced with:

@Composable
fun MyScreen(
    modifier: Modifier,
    text: String
) {
    Column(
        verticalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(32.dp),
        horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CenterHorizontally,
        modifier = modifier // ✅ correct: it's the last argument
            .background(Color.LightGray)
            .border(1.dp, Color.DarkGray)
            .padding(16.dp)
    ) {
        Icon(Icons.Outlined.Face, null)
        Text(text)
    }
}
