hook to replace a function question

Hi,

I’m looking to alter a function in my child from a parent theme, and having some trouble writing the hook. Any help would be appreciated.

—————————————
here’s the function from the parent theme
————————————–

public function modify_search_filter( $query ) {
	if ( is_search() && $query->is_search ) {
		if ( isset( $_GET ) && ( 2 < count( $_GET ) || ( 2 == count( $_GET ) && ! isset( $_GET['lang'] ) ) ) ) {
			return $query;
		}

		$search_content = Avada()->settings->get( 'search_content' );

		if ( 'all_post_types_no_pages' === $search_content ) {
			$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'avada_portfolio', 'product', 'tribe_events' ) );
		
		} elseif ( 'Only Posts' === $search_content ) {
			$query->set( 'post_type', 'post' );
		} elseif ( 'portfolio_items' === $search_content ) {
			$query->set( 'post_type', 'avada_portfolio' );
		} elseif ( 'Only Pages' === $search_content ) {
			$query->set( 'post_type', 'page' );
		} elseif ( 'woocommerce_products' === $search_content ) {
			$query->set( 'post_type', 'product' );
		} elseif ( 'tribe_events' === $search_content ) {
			$query->set( 'post_type', 'tribe_events' );
		}
	}
	return $query;
}

---------------------------
this is what I want 
---------------------------

public function modify_search_filter( $query ) {
	if ( is_search() && $query->is_search ) {
		if ( isset( $_GET ) && ( 2 < count( $_GET ) || ( 2 == count( $_GET ) && ! isset( $_GET['lang'] ) ) ) ) {
			return $query;
		}

		$search_content = Avada()->settings->get( 'search_content' );

		if ( 'all_post_types_no_pages' === $search_content ) {
			$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'page', 'post', 'people' ) );
		
		} elseif ( 'Only Posts' === $search_content ) {
			$query->set( 'post_type', 'post' );
		} elseif ( 'portfolio_items' === $search_content ) {
				$query->set( 'post_type', 'avada_portfolio' );
		} elseif ( 'Only Pages' === $search_content ) {
			$query->set( 'post_type', 'page' );
		} elseif ( 'woocommerce_products' === $search_content ) {
			$query->set( 'post_type', 'product' );
		} elseif ( 'tribe_events' === $search_content ) {
			$query->set( 'post_type', 'tribe_events' );
		}
	}
	return $query;
}

---------------------------
this is what I've tried in my function file (and it didn't work) 
---------------------------

add_filter( 'modify_search_filter', 'my_modify_search_filter', 11, 2 );

function my_modify_search_filter( $query ) {
	if ( is_search() && $query->is_search ) {
		if ( isset( $_GET ) && ( 2 < count( $_GET ) || ( 2 == count( $_GET ) && ! isset( $_GET['lang'] ) ) ) ) {
			return $query;
		}

		$search_content = Avada()->settings->get( 'search_content' );

		if ( 'all_post_types_no_pages' === $search_content ) {
			$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'page', 'post', 'people' ) );
		
		} elseif ( 'Only Posts' === $search_content ) {
			$query->set( 'post_type', 'post' );
		} elseif ( 'portfolio_items' === $search_content ) {
				$query->set( 'post_type', 'avada_portfolio' );
		} elseif ( 'Only Pages' === $search_content ) {
			$query->set( 'post_type', 'page' );
		} elseif ( 'woocommerce_products' === $search_content ) {
			$query->set( 'post_type', 'product' );
		} elseif ( 'tribe_events' === $search_content ) {
			$query->set( 'post_type', 'tribe_events' );
		}
	}
	return $query;
}

Thanks
Mark
