If X is just good, then that's still X is good because of something about X
Let’s ask this of a subjective good, like dominos pizza is good, where dominos pizza is x. Let’s introduce a y as well which stands for my taste buds.
Is good here something about x, or good here something about y?
Perhaps you recognize in this example that good is really about y, good is description of my likes.
Your not going to find the “good” in the pizza, it’s located in me, in this example of a subjective good. Do you agree?
Both. It's in my perception but it also depends on something about the pizza that makes me like it.
IOW:
The pizza tastes good, so I like it.

If it was my answer, would that have been an adequate response? This is the type of response you were looking for? Am I correct?
Is it your answer? Yes or no?
