It is difficult to say from a distance but the leaves do look sunburned to me. The leaves are quite pale and 6 hours of full sun seems extreme considering. If you can cut back the hours of direct sun to only a few each day until it acclimates that might do it. I notice that the new growth in the middle of the plants still looks good. If you make the change in light and things continue to deteriorate then you have another problem. 'Sorry I can't be more definitive.
