"Been" is the past participle of the verb "be" and is used in perfect tenses (present perfect, past perfect, future perfect) to indicate completed actions or experiences. "Being" is the present participle of the verb "be" and is used in continuous tenses (present continuous, past continuous, future continuous) to show ongoing actions or states.
"Have been" is used in present perfect continuous tense to indicate that an action started in the past and is still ongoing. For example, "I have been working on this project for two hours." "Have being" is not a correct phrase in English grammar. Use "have been" in situations requiring present perfect continuous tense.
To convert the present perfect continuous tense into passive voice, use "has been" or "have been" followed by the past participle of the main verb. For example, "They have been cooking" in present perfect continuous becomes "Cooking has been being done by them" in passive voice.
The present perfect continuous tense does have a passive form. For example, "The project has been being worked on for weeks." This passive form emphasizes the continuity of an action that started in the past and is still ongoing, often with implied or explicit consequences in the present.
The present tense of "be" is "am, is, are" for present simple, and "am being, is being, are being" for present continuous.

The present continuous tense (passive voice) uses the form is being and are being with a verb to indicate an action is still underway. The adjective "able" should not be used, and the verb form enabled is unwieldy at best.The correct form of the phrase would omit the continuous form and simply state"are able to," or "are now able to," or continuously, "are becoming able to."
