Place of "magnifique"

Why does the place of "magnifique" varies in the sentences below though it's neither an adjective that qualifies a proper noun nor a numerical adjective?

J'ai vu des endroits magnifiques.

Il a mangé de magnifiques gâteaux.

Another way to say - You need to have had your shower before noon."Il faut que tu aies pris ta douche avant midi." (You have to have had your shower before noon.You need to have had your shower before noon.) Would it also be correct to say the following: "Il faut que tu aies eu ta douche avant midi"?

Passé antérieur and participleI'm having no luck translating the form, 'il eut heu'. I've run across it (or variations) three times now. It looks like a verb in the passé antérieur but none of the language reference tools I've checked recognise the participle 'heu'. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Vas te coucher

I had "Vas te coucher" as my translation of "Go to bed". It is listed in the example as a correct translation. Can you tell me why it was marked as incorrect please.
