If there is enough slack, then you could consider switching the hydraulic lines over.
I'm patently going to have to detach mine to replace the unit and (Shimano) it looks like removal of an 8mm retaining nut (I'm assuming a compression fit) pull the hydraulic line and then re-fit.
Need to bleed afterwards, but I've been there, done that on this bike, and have a kit. Keeping the hydraulic line high when detached should minimise issues.
If it would make a big difference for you, then maybe worthwhile getting a bike mechanic to do it.
Beware "learned behaviour" if you do switch.
