Oh no! Do I have to move this tree??

This spring I planted an orchard. In the backyard I arranged my trees in a grid. In the front, I planted two trees in the strip alongside the driveway, next to the property line. One of these trees was planted directly underneath the eaves of our carport. I purchased one dwarf tree for this specific location.

However today I realize, I made a stupid mistake and planted the dwarf tree in the backyard grid, and a full-sized plum tree underneath our carport. I'm kicking myself! The eaves of the carport are about eight and a half feet tall. The tree is in full sun. It sits directly under the edge of the carport, so that it is about half under and half not. Is there a way I can leave it in place and get creative with pruning? Or do I have to move this tree in or lose it?
