But you know what they say about girls on rocks....

But seriously....

What are the roots in back like? I only ask because these front ones seem like they're losing the battle.

I would try to grow more roots, which shouldn't be to difficult yonder. Especially the left side to hold your growing right crown side.

For root over rock you generally either want the rock to dominate the tree, or the tree to dominate the rock. You've got a situation where they both present similar visual weight. Of course that can change if you let the tree get larger. I think I'd wrap the roots on the rock and plant deep again for another year then have a look.
