@Vishal Choudhary.
You answer is absolutely correct.
This is because "ever since" and "never before" are phrases themselves and hence, can't be altered. "Ever since" is used to express something after the occurrence of an event and "never before" is used to express something before the occurrence of an event. So, before is appended after "ever since" and since is appended after "never before" and not in between the phrases.
