Noorul,

Actually, your modification makes it grammatically incorrect. The word
"immediately" is to modify the adjective "previous", and in English, an
adjective needs to be modified by an adverb. So, "immediately previous"
would be correct, but "immediate previous" is not.

Trying to be helpful, not merely nit-picking,
