In the current work, the diffraction problem of a plane electromagnetic wave on a cluster of two layered nanocylinders consisting of a magnetoplasmonic core and a gold shell is considered. The arising effects of spatial dispersion in the gold shell are taken into account within the framework of the generalized nonlocal optical response theory. Based on the discrete source method scheme, an analysis of the influence of the mutual arrangement of particles, their deformation, and the effect of spatial dispersion on the behaviour of the absorption cross-section and the near-field enhancement factor is conducted. It is shown that the position of the plasmon resonance can be shifted to the transparency region of biological tissues by varying the distance between particles and the core material. It has been established that taking into account spatial dispersion in the gold shell leads to a decrease in intensity and a slight shift of the plasmon resonance position to the shortwave region, without going beyond the tissue transparency region.
