The line must be written as is. You cannot change the order. But only the verbal error.

Persist, insist such type of words is always followed by gerund verb+ing so it should be in doing as persist takes the preposition in.

To do and doing both are giving the same sense (gerund). We can use one of them. So the above sentence is right way.

After preposition we use "ing" Form of the verb. So persist in doing is correct.

Why we use gerund in place of infinitives? Can anyone explain to me?

Persisted should be followed by in/on. In this case, I feel on would have been a better usage as "to do" is a work associated term.
"He persisted on playing"-not in.
"He persisted on playing the guitar"-not in.
Open to debate.
