The old location got direct sunlight until around 12:30 when the sun becomes dappled to medium shade. The new location does run a bit more into the hotter part of the afternoon, but only receives full sun until around 13:30 - 14:30, then dappled sun to light shade.

Too much sun too fast for little pup?
It depends on how much of a root system it had when you separated it. With a good root system they can be put in full sun .If it only has a few roots I would put it in a shaded area and cut off some of the older leaves. Once it perks up and starts growing then move it to a sunnier location

If it is planted in ground a little shade cloth will help and remove some of the leaves.
