The correct sentence is "It's something that's been bothering me for quite some time." "Its" is incorrect because it is a possessive pronoun, while "it's" is a contraction of "it is" which is the correct form. "Being" is incorrect because it implies that the thing bothering the speaker is a continuous action, while "been" is the correct past participle of "be". "Quiet" is incorrect because it means "without sound", while "quite" means "to a certain degree" which is the intended meaning in this sentence.
