(On the other hand, are we right to casually suffix *ngan* to place-names, without including a space? Take the non-coining of compound nouns as single words as a given before considering this.)
There are plenty of canon examples of *ngan* being used in compound nouns. Doing it for a place name that hasn't appeared that way in canon *(pItlhberghngan*, for example) seems less like a new coinage and more like just an extrapolation from a well-established pattern. (I'd also say the same applies to *tej* and *QeD*, though those two have less examples that *ngan*.)
