Hello. I'm not a very musical person, but I've been working on this riff for a lil song. It looks like this:

But the riff gets much nicer if I move around the notes a lil bit:

Huge improvement! But now, it's not really in 4/4 anymore. I observe that the music would fit into three bars each 11 gridspaces long... if I pumped up the metrum to some crazy ratio I guess I would be able to do that but I don't know if that would solve the problem or if it would just make my song really messy to produce and as a final result.
I don't expect to find a perfect solution. I tried to elongate some of the other notes to force it to fit 4/4 but that's not good enough. How do I find the metrum?
