In simple affirmative sentences the direct object pronoun is before the verb.
Juan lo da a Jaime. is correct.
However in sentences that also have an infinitve or present participle, it can be attached to the infinitive or participle or it can before the first verb.
Estoy limpiándola. or La estoy limpiando (I am cleaning it)
With affirmative commands attach to the end. " Léalo" Read it.
With negative commands " No lo leas"
