Interrogatives and which vs. that

Question

The same question is posted on Stack Exchange English Language Learners and I have not heard back from anyone yet.

Is the following sentence grammatically correct?

How would I know what things you think are not going well if you do not say anything?

The context is that someone said that things are not going well.

The other sentence posed to ask the similar question to ask about those things which are not going well is the following:

How would I know the things which/that you think are not going well if you do not say anything?

Another formation can be done by the removal of what before things and the insertion/replacement of those before things, as showed in the following sentence:

How would I know those things which/that you think are not going well if you do not say anything?

Cross-posting questions is frowned upon here. Answers aren't always going to appear instantly so you should wait for a response. — KillingTime, Jun 02 '22 at 06:31
@KillingTime, making the other person realize about cross-posting without having the willingness to answer the question is also frowned upon. — alphabounce_1228, Jun 02 '22 at 06:37
Is your question simply whether all three are grammatical? Or are you asking which one would be preferred? More eloquent? Or are you asking about the difference between which and that in relative clauses? It's a bit hard to tell what your specific question is. EL&U asks that each question focus as narrowly as possible on a particular issue. — DW256, Jun 02 '22 at 11:57
There are multiple questions here. The 'How would I know what [/which] things you think are not going well if you do not say anything?' query is answered at at Which vs what – what's the difference and when should you use one rather than the other?. — Edwin Ashworth, Jun 02 '22 at 13:22
