So good a man

Dear teachers! I have these two sentences, and my teaching program says the right answer is #2. Is it because so cannot be followed by an article when being in such type of phrase(adjectival?)? Am I right in thinking that I've never met such a good man before., is correct and more in use?

1. I've never met so a good man before.

2. I've never met so good a man before.

Please point out every error in my post.

Thank you in advance.

To be honest , my teacher showed me the same sentence today as an example
and in the beginning , i thought he was wrong
but when i thought bout it again and again , it give me some kind of sense

but i wasn't sure , i mean i never heard of this structure being used


still
i am confused and that's why i came here to see answers
but your answers weren't suffi
