Harper, You will need to cage the junipers until they get established as the rabbits and deer will eat the lower parts if you have a bad winter. They don't touch Inkberry (Ilex glabra ) which is ever green here and it grows fast and is not prickly. One of my favorite filler plants.. Also Dwarf Alberta Spruce would work. I think you have enough sun for it. Or perhaps a mixed group of including a shade tolerant viburnum, juniper, inkberry and pines. Here are some in various seasons.
