Forcing a trailing slash before URL query

I know this is a subject that comes up a lot, so I'll just make sure everyone knows: I have read and tried many of the rewrite suggestions on here already, with no luck.

I have a WordPress install (nginx server, virtual machine w/ apache) that's running just fine, but there's an issue with directories + queries in the URL. If the directory does not have a trailing slash before the query, it does not resolve (bounces back to blog index).

Example:

www.example.com/blog/?=generic_query works just fine.

www.example.com/blog?=generic_query does not.

Unfortunately, the theme I've installed (X-Theme) has some admin menus that point to pages without the trailing slash on the directory before the query.

I have tried to rewrite the conditions within htaccess but I just haven't had any success. I've read others saying that PHP usually doesn't care at all about this, so the fact that this is making a fuss with this strange nginx install makes me wonder if it's a server issue.

Does anyone have any suggestions for this very specific issue? It'd be much appreciated if so!

Thank you

Edit: Putting my root htaccess file here.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Put this in .htaccess file :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,7}\s/(.*?)([^\/])\?(.*)\sHTTP.*$
RewriteRule  ^(.*)$    /%1%2/?%3   [L]

Second lime will check if the request has no / before ? .

Third line will add it to request internally .

UPDATE :

Save your previous rules and put this:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /blog(/)?\?(.*)\sHTTP.*$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
