{-mey} is a Type 2 suffix, and must come before {-raj}, a Type 4 suffix.
This sentence seems a bit contrived; there are probably better ways to
express this meaning without using the suffix {-ghach}. How about
{Suja'chuqmo' jIvuQlu'} or {muvuQ ghItlhmeyraj}?

I can't quite follow the last sentence.
"I am only a haver and I find that correctnesses[?] they are be useful."
{ghajwI' jIH} means about the same thing as {jIghaj} or {vIghaj}, and I
think the latter meanings are easier to deal with unless you're trying
to put yourself in the category of "people who have".
Maybe you misspelled {ghojwI'}? "I am only a student" makes more sense.
{lo'laH} by itself means "is/are useful"; you don't need {bIH} "they are"
with it. The construction {X bIH Y'e'} is used when X is a noun.
{-ghach} on a verb with no intervening suffixes calls a lot of attention
to the word, and I'm not really sure what you're trying to say here. If
you wanted "corrections", I suggest -- hesitantly -- {lughmoHghachmey}.
It comes out as something like "causings of being correct".
