what time of the day picture was taken? I second, do not prune. Spacing between leaves suggest plant trying to stretch out for sunlight which it has gotten as evident now. It should grow well and get bushy in time.

This pic was taken around 1 pm... i am facing exact West in picture, the direct sun remains on plants a little longer than 5 pm.. your observation is worth considering.. i will try to get its branches grow on the opposite side of wall which gets morning sun as well...

exactly meaning-by south is onto your left across the wall. They will never get full sun as they are shielded by wall except in summer month when the sun is high.
