Laravel - Impersonation redirect issue - laravel

Question

I currently have an admin panel that allows admins to login via other users accounts and view their accounts as the user would which redirects to a subdomain.
so ill be on the url http://example.local/admin/users which is a list of the users then when you log in as a particular user via this route.
Login as user
Route::get('/users/{id}/login_as', function ($id) {
$user = App\User::withTrashed()->find($id);
$user->changelogs()->create([
'action' => 'Admin logged in as user'
]);
session()->put(['og_user' => auth::user()]);
\Auth::logout();
\Auth::loginUsingId($id);
return redirect('/dashboard');
});
This will then redirect to the users page on how they see the platform but this will change to a sub domain http://subdomain.example.local/.......
I currently have a header that appears once logged in that contains a return to admin button which then logs you out of that user and returns you back to the admin page you was originally on.
Return to admin button
#if(session()->has('og_user') && auth::user())
<div class="signed_in">
<div class="container inner">
<h5 class="text-light mb-0">
Logged-in as {{ auth::user()->name }}
</h5>
<a href="/admin/{{session()->get('og_user')['id']}}/log_in_as" class="btn btn-secondary ml-auto">
Return to admin
</a>
</div>
</div>
#endif
Login as admin
Route::get('/admin/{id}/log_in_as', function ($id) {
session()->forget('og_user');
\Auth::logout();
\Auth::loginUsingId($id);
return back();
});
the problem i am having is once im logged in under another user on a subdomain and then i return to admin it directs me back to the admin page but under the sub domain still http://subdomain.example.local/dashboard with that domains UI theme when i want it to go back to example.local/dashboard
Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to do this?

Answer 1

You use
return back();
This function will return you to the previous page: in your case, the previous page is in the subdomain. So you don't want to go back.
Use a direct link to the page you want to visit instead:
return redirect('your desired route');
