Hi , IMHO your second shot( with peoples) is a better shot but both are too glaring.
I think using center metering or spot metering could helps. meter nearby the bright sunlight.
Don't I comment hor.

Be careful not to look at the sun when you spot meter it.

Another way is to -2 Ev. BTW, is that place hazy?

Haven't been there, so don't know the physical constraints.

Don't know if there will be access problem.... for this condition, it's best to catch the apostles in the diffusing glow of the sunset. Not in the shadows.

If you want to shoot the shadows, maybe can get a much lower perspective and shoot the sun peeking out from behind one of them.
