"have you always been" can be found only 84 times in fraze.it, Google Ngrams, and COCA combined. There is only one case among those 84 where it is followed by a verb in the -ing form, and that one is in a very awkward sentence.
It seems that questions of this kind (present perfect continuous with 'always') are almost never used. I recommend that you not use that combination.
