"none have been recorded yet" or "none have been yet recorded"

Hallo,

I'm writing an academic report and I want to state something to the effect that "X and Y exist, but none have been recorded yet". This construction sounds to me as if "yet" is hanging off the end.

I am trying to decide how to term what I wish to say. Is there any reason to choose one of the following, apart from aesthetic considerations?:
  1. "...none have been recorded yet"
  2. "...none have been yet recorded"
  3. "...none have yet been recorded"
  4. "...none, yet, have been recorded"
Any insight you may provide would be greatly appreciated.
