loved by not only vs loved not only by

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "Loved not only by" is the more common structure and is used to emphasize the additional people or things that love someone or something. On the other hand, "loved by not only" can also be used, but it is less common and may sound a bit formal or poetic.
