I'd either move it to where the carrot house is but facing the interior or get a wider container for the sand and place the wheel inside of it while keeping it in the same place.
You could make it more interesting by adding a level in the shape of a free standing platform with a 55cm Trixie bendy bridge or any suitable ramp leading up to it.

Agree - moving the wheel to the far end facing in would be a good idea - then he has space to jump out and flop on the substrate
At the moment the position of the large sand bath and wheel kind of separates the two ends of the cage. If the wheel wasn't there it would give space to run the whole length of the cage - I'd probably put that nice tunnel flat on the substrate where the wheel is now.
Also adding a low platform at the end opposite to the carrot house would be good. The other items could stay where they are underneath it. Ramp access to a platform can be tricky (and needs to be very secure and stable). Bendy bridges just sink in the substrate.
Alternatively maybe a labyrinth house instead at that end - which makes a kind of platform with it's flat roof. They love those. It would mean slightly moving/rearranging the hides at that end, but one could sit on the house roof.
