What do you mean by 'wrong'? Can you provide a context that might justify using them?

You should be aware that you're mixing up two points with these odd examples. The first point concerns the position of adverbs. The second point concerns using frequency adverbs in negative sentences. I think you need to slow right down and try to simplify everything before it becomes even more hopelessly confused. Get the simple rules clear in your mind first.

For example, "I sometimes don't read in the evenings" and "I don't read sometimes I watch TV or go for a walk to relax."

For example, "I don't sometimes see them" or "I don't sometimes read in the evening" or with any other verb between the main verb and an auxiliary verb.
Okay. Then:

- Sometimes I don't see them.

- I sometimes don't see them.

- I don't see them sometimes.

(See "read in the evening" above.)
