have already been receive vs had already been received

The correct phrase is "had already been received." The use of the past perfect tense (had + past participle) is appropriate when referring to an action that was completed before another past action. The phrase "have already been receive" is incorrect because it mixes present perfect and passive voice in an incorrect way.
