I guess both of them looks exactly the same to me and no difference in meaning.

But I am not native speaker.

Hope this helps.

I'm not a native speaker either, but a teacher of the language.

I'd prefer the adverb at the end.

 

Best,

Eire.

I'd say you could use either, but to my ear "the evidence clearly shows" puts more emphasis on "clearly."
