Viburnum carlessi and juddi

I have two Koreanspice Viburna which are about 6 yrs old but are very sparse. I've read that they are supposed to be dense growing. The deer have had a nibble of them in the past, they've struggled to recover and one of them is still yet to flower. They don't seem to produce new branches either. They are in a border at the back of the house which faces NW and gets sun/partial shade. Is there anything I can do promote growth or are they destined to remain this way?

My Viburnum juddi is the same age and has more density, but remains very small. I have trouble visualising this plant as a 6-8 footer! Should I move it from the NW corner of my house?

Thank you very much. These are the only two shrubs that I have particular difficulty with and the ones that I want most to get right!

You mentioned they've yet to flower and don't seem to produce new branches.

This year, or since you've owned them?

Maybe some pics would help...experts might help with a diagnosis. Definitely shouldn't be sparse just because its in partial shade.
