I wanted to drop back in and say that after trying for quite some time to plot reset that bad placement, I couldn't get it to move. So, I did end up restarting.
It wasn't all bad, though. I mean, I lost a lot of dreamies. So that sucked. But I actually love my new map, way more than the old one. I was able to put my house at a really lovely spot next to the waterfall. So I'm not too unhappy with the situation. I guess I would just advise caution to those who have a specific vision for their town's villagers but also want to scan in amiibo cards.
I still think amiibos are a fantastic idea for Nintendo, I just hope that in future AC games they polish the idea a bit.
