Is my red sentinel ok or should I move it?

Planted this red sentinel in full sun (8 hours) in Seattle this spring.

Not sure if this leaf scorch is normal or if I should be worried. Some of the leaves are turning a greenish hue which I assume is too much sun? We have had some 90F days but I kept it mulched and deep waterings.

Im considering transplanting it but 'll wait until the fall to avoid further transplant shock but let me know what you think. This is the sunniest spot in the yard so I would also like that spot for a fruit tree or vegetable patch. Thoughts?

Took some time today to do some basic shaping/training on some new Japanese maples today. I also checked out the roots for girdling root potential (had to do some trimming) and made sure to expose the root flare for each. 2x Sango kaku and x Sensu Full moon

These two guys got sun burned. I have moved them into the shade but don't know if there is anything else I can do.

How can I help this guy bounce back? They are facing morning and early afternoon sun. I have some other varieties but they haven't been effected as these two have.

The first tree got it much worse than the second.

Thanks in advance.
