There is no correct place to put an adverb ending in -ly.
The determination of adverb position is based on meaning, not on ending, and even then the placement of many adverbs is rather free.
Most adverbs ending in -ly are adverbs of manner; they answer the question "how?"; they go most naturally at the end of the sentence.
