The position of the sun isn’t really the problem. The problem is that one of its engines seems to have been damaged just before landing, so it landed precisely where it was supposed to, but tumbled over and is now more or less upside-down.
Still a noteworthy achievement, because it landed softly (which is a technical term meaning “didn’t hit so hard it got crushed into a pancake”, or more specifically “so hard it broke”). They’ll have to work on whatever went wrong before landing though, so they can land right side up next time
