Rhododendrons and Relatives: Pruning, rounding question for hybrids, 1 by 2racingboys

Last year I was given 4 new Encore azaleas - Autumn Embers Hybrid. They were not very happy when I got them from lack of water and care. I kept them pretty wet for the first few days then planted with a bush/shrub fertilizer and they turned out really pretty with the exception of being a bit odd shaped.
The question is, since they have been planted since early last summer can I prune them to fix their shape? I'd like to keep them kind of small and rounded.
