Assuming that you mean that the second noun indicates the 
location of the action of the verb, it attaches to the second 
noun. It wouldn't make sense attached to the first noun, and 
that would violate the grammatical rule that the first noun of a 
noun-noun construction can't have a Type 5 noun suffix.
