Some years ago, I mistakenly put a Lc. outside into full sun (in NJ), together with my L. anceps (which I know can handle it). The plant that went out by mistake, was fortunately 50% L. anceps, so it did fine.
At the end of the season, I took a photo of this plant. Notice how the previous years growths were floppy, while the new growth produced in full sun is both larger and fully upright.
Based on this, I would suggest that your Cattleya is getting too little light, where you have it.
