"The gang of youths [has just been arrested] [was arrested a short time ago]"
"The gang of youths was sent to prison"
You can't say "the gang members of youth" You could say the "young gang members" but this would not mean that the whole gang was made up of young people (youths).
You were quite close so well done!
