I have 7 forsynthia's on our property and I have always pruned them anytime after flowering till about a month before frost. I am not an expert but it has never damaged mine. Of course anytime you prune them you reduce their size, and also their flowering but I have always felt it best to keep them pruned. We do have one monster sized one that even pruned is just huge. I hope this has helped. This is our really large one! I have not pruned it back yet!
