Grammatically, also can be put in lots of different places in a sentence, but changing its place will also change the meaning and emphasis of the sentence. It’s difficult to learn this as it’s a very subtle difference, but a good way to try is to basically put also next to or as close as possible to the word that you are highlighting.
