Advanced search and replace question

Newby here going kinda crazy trying to figure this out.

 

I have a report full of source references structred like this:

"quotation." (UN 2022, p.2) New sentence...

 

I want to make sure the period now inside the close quote is moved behind the last parenthesis, followed by a space, and then the start of the new sentence, like this:

"quotation" (UN 2022, p.2). New sentence...

 

So I can find these instances (using a Mac) no problem with this:

^0046^0211[^s ]\(*\)[^s ]

 

But I cannot figure out what to replace it with. I tried the following but keep getting an error:

^0211[^s ]\(*\)^0046[^s ]

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, J3!
