I'd use (1). I would not use (2).
That said, both are grammatically correct.
The basic rule is to place that adverb after the first verb in a multi-word verb phrase, i.e., after the first auxiliary verb. I don't see any reason to do otherwise for this particular sentence.
Besides, Google Ngram can't find any examples of (2) in its database.
