htaccess: Redirect sub-folder to another sub-folder

I require to do 301 redirects via the htaccess file however, I am having difficulty to redirect sub-folder which are two levels down. In case it is important, index.php resolves to /

Scenario: www.domain.com/oldfolder1/oldfolder2/ shall be redirect to www.domain.com/newfolder/

Also, the following rule exists as it is required

Redirect 301 /oldfolder1/ http://www.domain.com/newfolder/

The problem I am having is that currently the redirect ends up on www.domain.com/newfolder/oldfolder2/ which is wrong and shall not be. The page must end on www.domain.com/newfolder/

I have tried the following but nothing worked

Method 1:

RedirectMatch 301 /oldfolder1/oldfolder2/(.*) /newfolder/$1

Method 2:

Redirect 301 /oldfolder1/oldfolder2 http://www.domain.com/newfolder/

Method 3:

Redirect 301 /oldfolder1/oldfolder2 http://www.domain.com/newfolder/index.php

Can you please advise.

Thank you!

Try this instead and put this in your htaccess file. See how that works. 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/oldfolder1/oldfolder2/?$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/oldfolder1/?$
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.domain.com/newfolder/ [R=301,L]

Edit:

Based on your comment. 

RewriteEngine On 
#if directory exists redirect to equivalent folder. 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^oldfolder1/?(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/newfolder/$1 [R=301,L]
#if it's not a directory then redirect to main folder
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^oldfolder1/?(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/newfolder/ [R=301,L]
