All these sentences are correct because adverbs of frequency can be used before the ordinary verbs, at the beginning of a sentence and at the end of it.

We can put adverbs in different positions in sentences. There are three main positions but also a lot of exceptions.
In English we never put an adverb between the verb and the object.
We often play handball. - CORRECT
We play often handball. - WRONG
The three main positions of adverbs in English sentences
1) Adverb at the beginning of a sentence
Unfortunately, we could not see Mount Everest
2) Adverb in the middle of a sentence
The children often ride their bikes.
3) Adverb at the end of a sentence
Andy reads a comic every afternoon.
always, usually, regularly, normally, often, sometimes, occasionally, rarely, seldom, never are adverbs of frequency.
The position of these adverbs is:
before the main verb
Adverb of frequency
Verb
I
always
get up
at 6.45.
Peter
can
usually
play
football on Sundays.
Mandy
has
sometimes
got
lots of homework.
after a form of to be am, are, is (was, were)
Verb
Adverb of frequency
Susan
is
never
late.
The adverbs often, usually, sometimes and occasionally can go at the beginning of a sentence.
Sometimes I go swimming.
Often we surf the internet.
Somtimes these adverbs are put at the end of the sentence.
We read books occasionally.
The adverbs rarely and seldom can go at the end of the sentence.
He eats fish very seldom.

Inversions after negative adverbials
There are some words and phrases that function as adverbials that sometimes need an inversion. Look at these two sentences.
Bob rarely speaks to himself.
Rarely does Bob speak to himself.
The adverb here is "rarely". If it comes after the subject, there is no inversion (as in the first sentence), but if it comes before the subject, we need an inversion. The word order is inverted and in the case of the sentence about Bob we use the auxiliary verb "does" in the same way we do in questions (although this isn't a question).
The sentence with the inversion sounds more formal or more literary, and sentences like this are less common in ordinary conversation.
Here are some examples with other phrases used in the same way.
Seldom does Bob get invited to parties. (seldom = rarely)
Never have we seen such a breathtaking view.
