I use fluent snippet plugin for all my functions, js, and CSS:

FluentSnippets – The High-Performance file based Custom Code Snippets Plugin

Example:

I want to move the entry_meta data( author name, date, category, and comments) below the excerpt on the archive page. Here is the code that you will need to apply to the functions.php or use FluentSnippet plugin.

Code:
add_action('kadence_loop_entry', function(){
  remove_action( 'kadence_loop_entry_header', 'Kadence\loop_entry_meta', 30 );
  add_action( 'kadence_loop_entry_content', 'Kadence\loop_entry_meta', 21 );
});
