Would've

When I left home, I left the beans on the stove so, it would have been already cooked when you got home.

Is there any correction needed? Thank you in advance.

When I left home, I left the beans on the stove , so they would have already been cooked when you got home. Your word order "would have been already cooked" is not definitely wrong, but, for me, the above is more natural.

This is clumsy and awkward. It would be more natural as they would already have been cooked when you got home.
