Best ROI on shower renovation decision after mistake

I bought a 4-unit and I am renovating one of the bathrooms that was dated and had a tub with a concerning patched hole in it.  So, I’m using this as an opportunity to do a full bathroom reno since the building is in a nice area and I want to attract good tenants.

The unit is a studio with seperate ear-in kitchen, so will most likely be a single tenant.

My mistake was that I intended to get a 60 inch shower installed, and a 36 inch wide shower was installed.

Here is a video of the setup with the 36 inch wide shower where you can see the current situation: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DpsdpkQ8necpy84q0-u_fp85htr...

I see my options as:
1) keeping the shower as is and saying it’s good enough for the rental

2) getting a plumber to switch shower and toilet drains and build larger tiled shower in shower space 

3) moving wall back and plumbing back and putting 60 inch wide shower base as originally intended

Open to hearing opinions and reasons!
