The answer

If there is something in the first row that distracts the worshiper and disturbs their khushūʿ (devotional humility), then it is better to not pray there and move to later rows where khushūʿ can be attained. This is because achieving the virtue of khushūʿ, which is related to the essence of the worship, takes precedence over achieving the virtue of the first row, which is related to the location of the worship, when there is a conflict between them.
