Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Standing alone, the phrase, “both A and B” is correct usage. Your second phrase, should you use it, would be, “A and B are both…” because you have a plural subject.
Detailed explanation-2: -Is both singular or plural? Both as a pronoun refers to two people or things and is always plural.
Detailed explanation-3: -“Both” is determiner or pronoun referring to two people or things together. So, it should be “both are correct”. When two separate things are combined together that become plural, ‘so both are or both of them’ is correct one.
