Please help me decide the right location for my trees!

Hi
I plan to plant Delonix regia and Muntingia calabura trees at 5 feet distance from a 2 year old mango tree approx. 10 feet tall. They can be planted at South West ( full Sun and big open space) of the mango tree and to its East where the Sun would be blocked by the Mango tree plus the space is very limited.

I really want my Muntingia calabura to fruit, so would it make a significant difference in fruiting if I plant it eastward of the Mango tree? Because that is my preferred spot for it as it is right in front of my home. I understand it might grow slow and sparsely due to lack of sun and space.
Please help me with your suggestions and advice!

Typical dimensions of mature Delonix regia: 35'-50' high x 60'-80' wide

Typical dimensions of mature Muntingia calabura: 25'-40' high x 30'-50' wide

Were you going to grow yours as bonsai specimens?

I bet if you add pictures of your yard, in the approx area you want to plant you will get tons of replies. Or a detailed description of the area size where they are desired to be. Other than that it's hard to know where to begin to help you.
