We have always been doing vs we have been always doing

Both phrases are correct, but they have a slightly different word order. The more common and natural phrase is 'we have always been doing,' where 'always' is placed before the auxiliary verb 'been.' 'We have been always doing' sounds a little awkward, but it's still grammatically correct.
