The ‘WHAT’ part includes verb + direct object + indirect object, and we must keep these three elements together.
In this case, the direct object is the question and the indirect object is for you.

That’s why ‘again’ (an adverb) has come after ‘for you’.

 

Here’s another example from Collins Dictionary: I started to feel good about myself again.

 

You may come across examples where the indirect object has been separated from the verb, but make sure you never separate the direct object from the verb.
