Thank you very much.
So to summarize, in the pattern "relative clause (action 1)+noun+main clause(action 2)", if the ていた form of action 1 is used, then it means action 1 is in the past relative to the main verb (action 2), just for the same reason why 後で always follows た form, right?
ていた(action 1)+noun+main clause(action 2)
=action 1(ていた)後で+action 2
—>action 1 is before action 2
