Photo of My butterfly is so unhappy...

In the nursery they told me I have to plant the butterlfy in sun, 4 hours a day or more, if I want the variegation.
I followed their advice, and gave it a nice sunny spot, but no direct sun after 3 in the afternoon.
The leaves are all burnt to a crisp.
Can I put cloudcover on them, or what should I do?

Thank you
