First of all, Longgang is very large and it's impossible to estimate the travel time unclear about your final destination. Anyway, you may take a bus from HK airport to Shenzhen Bay Port or Huanggang Port, the duration is about 50 minutes; then cross the border and change to local transport, either subway train or city bus to your destination.

You can take the express train in HK airport and the last one leaves at 00:48. But you need to connect to others to the border with Shenzhen.
