Question

Is there any rule where to pub preposition when you use not only... but also? 
It is always confusing to me.

Answer

There is one very simple rule about prepositions. And, unlike most rules, this rule has no exceptions.

Rule
A preposition is followed by a "noun". It is never followed by a verb.

By "noun" we include:

* noun (dog, money, love)
    * proper noun (name) (Bangkok, Mary)
    * pronoun (you, him, us)
    * noun group (my first job)
    * gerund (swimming)

A preposition cannot be followed by a verb. If we want to follow a preposition by a verb, we must use the "-ing" form which is really a gerund or verb in noun form.

Answer

You put prepositions where you normally put them. No extra rules.
