Das sagt nicht man bei uns.
Das sagt man nicht bei uns.
Das sagt man bei uns nicht.

Do all these sentences work? If not, which one do you guys prefer?

Sagt man

"man" is the subject, and since it isn't in Pos. 1, it must be in Pos. 3, that's why you can't put anything else in Pos. 3. Not sure whether I'd shown you this before: https://learnoutlive.com/german-negation-nicht/ (just in case it helps)
