If so I would suggest that you place the shade away from the condenser at least the diagonal size of the condenser, preferably further. Also, avoid any arrangement that will allow hot air from the condenser to come back around and be sucked in again.
Not sure what you mean by "diagonal size". I can't do anything about the angled aluminum window shading unless I get rid of it completely (it came with the house). I can create more space with the vertical coroplast. It can have more space at the bottom.

I can also buy more spacers and stack them, doubling the effective gap between the coroplast and the AC.
