Something about the if and should combination doesn't seem right to me

been and already are in the wrong order. In my experience, the adverb should be after the modals 'should' and 'have' but before the base verb 'been' (to be).
Also, 'If I wanted to' is an adverbial clause, and should be followed by a comma to separate it from the rest of the sentence.
