adjectives - Adverbs describing Adverbs

We have a similar question here, but I think my examples are a bit different and I would love to understand how this is done correctly.



Let's say we are talking about




significantly higher thicknesses in some group




When I see this right, then significantly describes higher, while high is the description of the thicknesses.
Now, I would like to say that the differences are statistically significant, but it just won't sound right to me




  1. statistically significant higher thicknesses in some group

  2. statistically significantly higher thicknesses in some group



What is the correct form to say this and why?



A very relevant example is




Seven clinically highly relevant publications




Is this correct, because both, clinically and highly describe the adjective relevant? I'm a bit lost and I would really like to understand the rules behind this.
