IF you can find a protein skimmer that's pretty slim, I think you can put it in. Just put it in anywhere. There's no really rule as to where you should place it in a sump as long as it's in there.
I would remove the bioballs and put live rocks there. Just make sure it's in the water though, and not in the air with water running through it like the bioballs.

I'd shoot for a very narrow skimmer like an Urchin by Aqua C and place it on the right side. How big is your tank by the way? That might negate the skimmer recommendation.
You're putting LR in your sump? I thought about that too, just didn't think it was common practice. Are you talking about replacing the bioballs with LR rubble?
You might be able to fit a skimmer in there. Hard to tell actual dimensions from the picture. You might just have to reposition your return line pump to accommodate the skimmer.
