I would think now would be okay. As long as it has time to settle before it freezes, then it should be fine.
I just re-did a garden about a week ago and the plants (joe pye weed, asters, echinacea, hibiscus, daylilies and sedum) look just fine. We have had a lot of rain since I did it so that has helped, otherwise I would have been watering it every day for a while to help settle them.

even now mid October in Barrie Ontario I have just planted some 75% off plants from a local nurser including phlox.

In Europe lots of planting is done in the fall, even late fall.
We are fortunate here that nurseries do not have this good fortune, of gardeners planting seriously in autumn, yet think it is the most successful time to plant or move and transplant mature plants.
I moved some Japanese tree peonies this week, carefully, it is reading on line, the best and only time to do so.
