Hi dear O'RientCat !

Very interesting question !

The adverbs of time (afterwards, eventually, lately, now, recently, soon, then, today, tomorrow etc.) and the adverb phrases of time (at once, since then, till(6.00 etc.) are usually placed at the very beginning or at the very end of the clause, i.e. in front position or end position. End position is usual with imperatives and phrases with till.

With compound tenses, eventually, lately, now, recently, since and soon can come after the auxiliary :

- We'll soon be there
- They eventually paid for...
- It would eventually run out....

Hope it can be of a help for youuuuu !
