They are all correct, but mean different things.
"Doesn't seem" means that a person isn't acting in a way that would indicate something is true.
"Seems not to" is stronger and means that the person is acting in a way that that indicates something is not true.
*********
He doesn't seem to love her.
It doesn't seem that he loves her.
same as - By the way he acts, I'm not sure if he loves her.
**********
He seems not to love her.
It seems that he doesn't love her.
same as - By the way he acts, I think he does not love her.
