The following sentences have the same meaning: We got together again. We got back together. Back is always placed directly before the particle. When back is used with separable phrasal verbs, the object must separate the verb and particle, and back must be placed between the object and the particle: / put the engine back together. Do not confuse the adverb back, which modifies phrasal verbs, with the particle back that is part of some phrasal verbs (and has the same meaning of again).
