*If I had known, I would never have done it.

*If I had known, I would have never done it.

Hello, Elhithebest.

(1) I think that native speakers often put adverbs (such as "never")

where they think it sounds best to their ears.

(2) Since you are a learner, maybe you might want to follow this

rule that many people like:

If you have two auxiliary verbs ("would" and "have"), put the

adverb in the middle:

I would + NEVER + have + done it.

(3) If you REALLY want to emphasize "never," I think you could

say:

I NEVER + would have done it.
