Here is the original sentence: 'You obviously didn't read the instructions properly'
Can I interchange the position of the adverb 'odviously' with 'didn't' ?
Then it becomes 'You didn't obviously read the instructions properly'
I wonder if there will be any problems and change in meaning?Thanksin advance

No.
 
Note that you could also say "Obviously, you didn't read the instructions properly".

I would prefer your alternative especially to "You didn't obviously read etc."
