The second is not natural.

Hi Andy,

Is that wrong or not natural? I have read that we can place the adverb right after the main verb or before the preposition. Could you please explain?

Thanks

It's not wrong just unnatural to use in writings, etc.
In colloquial, nobody will have problem with that.
