You may need to get a gutter contractor to review the entire installation and possibly replace the gutter with a different slope so the downspout could be relocated.

This is a typical courtyard villa layout. Part of the driveway can be seen at the lower right corner of the second photo. The OP has relocated the water runoff from the backyard to the front porch and driveway areas. To me, this creates more issues than it solves.
