Firstly: I guess that you should correct the word in your second passage,,, that if 2 things happen at different times at the same location ( for M`) because M` timing is different for every FOR
Secondly: it seems that you do not examine the principle of relativity of simultaneity; you just use it as it was proposed. The real test of this principle will not be achieved unless you complete the thought experiment I proposed. Please do not stop at the stage when the light is just received by M`, complete the story,,, A` and B` have their own local times
Thirdly: the whole issue of relativity of simultaneity is based on 1 fact and 2 interpretations. The fact is M` receives the signal at different time, it was the real observation made by the external observer. This observation has 2 interpretations: for the external one: light from B` reaches M` faster than A` . For the train ‘s observer: B` happens before A`. After reflection from M`-mirror back to both ends, the light reaches A` and B` at the same time ( this is another fact similar to the first one). This time the interpretation made by the external observer: Light to A` catches up the light to B` and appears at both times. For the train observer: ( A` at the same time as B`),,,, done
