Hydrangeas with afternoon sun?

Rebecca/N. IN/z6A

I have 4 hydrangea ”quickfire”, I think theyre called, that I am trying to decide whether or not to plant in an area that gets afternoon sun. From about 12-5ish. I have 2 planted already in an area that is mostly shade, under 2 HUGE silver maples that get Eastern morning sun until 10-11ish but I feel like they are smaller than they should be and the mapes hog up all the water, so I need to water them every 2-3 days. Do you think they can handle the part afternoon sun location or do you think the shadier east facing spot under the edge of the maple canopy would be better? if under there, I may just dump a load of soil and do a raised bed,
