There are 2 positions with gerunds (-ndo) and infinitives. You may either put the pronouns (direct, indirect, reflexive) in front of the conjugated verb OR attached to the -ndo + an accent mark or infinitive. You do not get BOTH choices; only ONE of the 2.
Example:
Ellos vienen a despedirse esta noche.
OR
Ellos se vienen a despedir esta noche.
