Yes, but first you have to move the TV.

The drawing below shows the ideal way to setup the speakers and listening position in a rectangular room. If your drawing had included the doors and windows I could have been more specific, but this should get you most of the way there.

I lived in a house similar to your drawing and this was about the best layout. See attached pic.

The smiley face is the best listening location.

I tried to get both sofas in between the surround speakers but it just didn't sound right.
