This might be a double definition.

'boys' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'made minor modifications?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'who' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mods that I've seen before include "Highland festivals; Oxford exams" , ". . . . and rockers, youth subcultures in the 1960s" , "1960s' youth subculture involving motor scooters" .)
