Hello,
If you have a sentence like this: "He did it in a way to be happy."
1. is "in a way to be happy" your adjunct?
2. Could you rewrite it to "In a way to be happy, He did it"
Adjunct as a phrase

Re: Adjunct as a phrase
We would not say this.
If you mean,
He did it in such a way as to be happy.
then the underlined part would be an adverbial adjunct of purpose.
