The correct placement is busquémoslos, because without the attached pronoun, the subjunctive is busquemos where the accent naturally falls on the e. After adding the suffix(s), accents are added as needed to preserve the originally stressed syllable.

It is busquémoslos. Before the addition of the atonic pronoun los, the word was busquemos and the accent was on the second to last syllable. Adding the atonic does not change which syllable is accented, so you need to put the accent on the e to keep the accent in the same place.

It's for an affirmative formal command so it has to go at the end.... But thanks, I'll try busquémoslos!

As far as I know, object pronouns cannot be attached to a conjugated verb, the only exception being with the gerundios. So it should be.....

Los busquemos.

No estoy seguro sobre esto, pero pienso que es:

busquémoslos

Por favor, no ser muy seguro de esto, solamente es mi teoría.

(Hicé correcto?)

Okay, I'm really unsure about this, but I think it's:

busquémoslos

Please, do not be too sure about this, it's just my theory.
