Was this through a court or agency?

It is worth a try to see if you can get relocated

But what I would assume is that before you were given guardianship if someone checked you out prior then they should know you only have three bedrooms.
You should be allowed two of the same sex per bedroom.

His status as a non sibling as no bearing. His status as a teenager, might have a bearing.

You really should be asking the council they can tell you their rules.
