You can put an LED anywhere from Vout to ground with correct orientation and limiting resistor; however, if you are making it a variable voltage supply, you might have problems with the brightness of LED while you vary the voltage. You might want to use a resistor that is appropriate for the max voltage so it will only get dimmer as you turn the voltage down, and not blow it but turning it up to high.

ok i will try it,
but i confused now about connect transformer to PCB, in my transformer in secondary side there are: 12V -- CT -- 12V, why i connect it to PCB from tonepad?
Thankyou
