Tried putting a shade sail over my patio and the neighbors complained

So I finally got tired of the sun blasting my patio every afternoon and bought a 12x16 shade sail off Amazon for like 45 bucks. I spent last Saturday afternoon figuring out how to anchor it to my house and two trees in the backyard. Looked pretty good honestly, gave me like 10 degrees of coolness back there. But then on Monday my neighbor from three houses down came over and said the glare from the white fabric was reflecting into her kitchen window. I felt kinda bad about it because she was nice about it, but I didn't even think about that happening. Has anyone else dealt with a shade sail causing reflection issues or did I just pick the wrong color material?

Honestly, did you try flipping it so the darker side faces her house?

Tried everything but flipping it, that actually fixed the whole glare problem for me.
