Had been might be right "have been" conveys that they are still friends but not as close as they must be.

Instead of "have been", 'were' or 'had been' both can be used. Correct me if wrong.

Is this correct "They were very close friends until they quarrelled."

They were friends earlier. It happened first. So must use past perfect tense.
